Would a different laser other than V Beam be better, or is this just expected maintenance? (Photos)

Asked By:GNJ in Kissimmee, FL

I've had several sessions of V Beam at purpuric levels on my chest and arms (pictures included) over the years (usually 2-3 times/year). It's made an improvement in the overall redness of my skin, especially on my chest. But some time after I always end up reddish/blotchy/splotchy again - it's more visible when I get hot, like when exercising. Is it time to try a laser other than V Beam that would be better to rid of this? Or different settings? Or is this just "the way it is"? Thank you.
