Vbeam and ibuprofen

February 23, 2024
Asked By:rebeccarobson11411 in Cary, Illinois

Nobody told me not to take an NSAID before vbeam. Before my first treatment I took 600mg. I never really saw any changes in my skin the following month. So before my second vbeam session, I again took 600mg. I told the doctor I didn’t see any improvement, so he turned it up. I now have a lot of bruising and I’m concerned that I won’t see any benefits from my procedure. I wish someone told me!!!! They’re expensive!!! Did I ruin everything and can expect no improvement again?
