Vbeam for mild rosacea recovery time and effectiveness?

Question

Hello!I am due to have vbeam on mild rosacea subtype 1.i sometimes flush but not too much.its the best it's been for a few months since using suncream although it has generally got worse around my nose and cheeks with a collection of permanent visible capillaries around nose in last 9 months.Is vbeam suitable for this? I am skin type 2. How long will redness last after treatment? Having felt good about my skin recently, don't want to fall back into being miserable about redness post treatment.

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.

Results are variable, I have all my patients do a series of 2-3 treatments then evaluate.  Often the results at this point are for months and no other treatments are needed.  Touch up treatments will be needed forever as there is no cure for this.  Please see a laser specialist.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The recovery and success will depend on a few factors, the most important is the setting of the laser. The higher the power, the longer the recovery, the better it will work. As a rule I always start first timers on a moderate setting, then increase as they understand the downtime. One treatment should improve things by 30%. If you work during the weekday, I suggest laser on a friday afternoon. Ice ice ice... this helps reduce the swelling and bruising. All the best, Dr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist
