How long before swelling reduces and what can I use to help the skin? (photos)

Question

I had a few days ago a 20 minute session with laser Vbeam perfecta for my cuperosis and facial keratosis treatment. My doctor only prescribed a normal face cream for redness and a 50 SPF cream with sun protection factor. But my face still look all bumpy like the skin of an orange. What else can I use to help it heal? For me the treatment was quite painful and skin is still tingly and sensitive

When patients have pockets of redness and capillaries, treating these with Vbeam can result in some swelling both from the heat and the destruction of the vessels themselves. I give patients a prescription hydrocortisone if needed, but you can also just try OTC cortisone like Cortaid 10. Put it on after cool water a few times a day and it will help bring down the swelling. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot
