Is normal to have redness 12 days after Vbeam? (photos)

Question

I got Vbeam laser for capillaries 12 days ago. I had a lot of bruises. The bruises faded away but I'm still red where the bruises were. Is this normal?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

It can take 6 weeks or so to see the effect from a V beam treatment, so it is possible that you would still have some redness 12 days after the procedure.  It can take several V beam treatments to obtain the best results.

Yes, it's possible to still be bruised. Just like a bruise anywhere on your body it can take time to resolve. It IS possible to use the VBeam to treat bruising though - so if that's something your treating office is comfortable with, it definitely may help. I use it in my office daily to treat bruising. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
