Would Vbeam stop the rosacea flushing that’s causing a lot of creepiness/scars in my skin? (photos)

Question

I’ve had one Fraxel Re:Store for the crepey skin I’ve developed from what I believe is the flushing from Rosacea, my true question is does Rosacea cause skin creepiness? Is this the source as to why I’ve developed such crepey skin? Does the intense flushing cause skin thinning? I clean and moisturize daily, I’d just hate to feel I’m wasting money on Fraxel treatments hoping it’s going to improve the quality of skin when actually it’s my rosacea that’s preventing it from improving.

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V, BBL, Pico), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
