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.
