Safe Timing for VBeam Post-TCA CROSS with Upcoming Vacation?

Question

Hello RealSelf Community, I've just had TCA CROSS with 70% TCA and am considering a VBeam treatment. Due to a vacation planned in 7 weeks, I'm thinking of scheduling the VBeam 2 weeks after the TCA CROSS. Is this gap safe and advisable for skin recovery and optimal results? Looking forward to your insights! Thank you!

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.
