Can VBeam lasers make flushing worse?

May 10, 2019
Asked By:TashTash86 in Encinitas, CA

I developed flushing after a 2 month round of prednisone. It's a side effect of the steroid that my dr said would go away after stopping. However, I stopped the meds about 10 months, but the flushing hasn't stopped. It spans over my face/neck/chest & is super hot/painful/distracting. I was told it's rosacea & so far I've gotten 2 laser treatments. I'm worried bc I've noticed the really hot feeling is super prominent along my jawbone. Can the laser treatment actually make the flushing worse?
