V Beam treatment complications?

Question

3 weeks after vbeam, I have mild swelling, wrinkle - like lines, and pronounced skin texture changes on my forehead where treatment was done. I noticed these 3 days post treatment & have not seen improvement (my forehead still has redness). I'm concerned these could be long-term. I followed up w/MD and he recommends I wait 1 month before really making an assessment. I don't want to assume role of Dr., but something isn't right. Looking for help as this is impactful.

Our protocol for hyper-erythematous redness uses a combination of lasers and Nanofractional RF to help reduce localized and perfuse hypervascularity in the skin. We begin with an evaluation of the redness and evaluate the cause of the hypervascularity. Treatments with Limelight IPL, Vbeam Perfecta, and Nanofractional RF are then used to reduce the blood vessels and telangiectasia within the skin. Patients benefit from post-treatment application of Elevase Moisture Booster with ceramides.
