Based on your photos, it appears you may have developed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH after your Vbeam treatment. I recommend scheduling a follow-up with your doctor. Proper and prompt treatment of the hyperpigmentation will reduce your odds of permanent scarring. Make sure you are working with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist to ensure the best possible results.
In our office, we have several treatments that can help improve common vascular skin issues, including rosacea, post-inflammatory erythema, red scars, facial blushing, and spider veins. The Vbeam laser continues to be the gold standard for redness, including rosacea and post-inflammatory erythema. In some cases, we add Venus Viva RF coagulation to help improve redness on the skin from spider veins, inflammation, and rosacea. Generally, several sessions are required to improve redness on the skin. Vbeam laser, IPL Limelight, and Venus Viva all work very well with minimal downtime. Patients with rosacea may benefit from topical creams to help soothe inflamed skin. We recommend Elevase Moisture Booster. For Post-inflammatory erythema, Plato’s Scar Serum is recommended twice daily. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
I suggest retinol, hydroquinone, vitaminc and silicone based scar gels with growth factors right now. This will take 2 weeks to heal and then you will know if you will be left with pigmentation or not. Best, Dr. Emer.
As Dr Emer suggested, wound care. You will need HQ, wound dressings, and silicone. Expect the PIH to fade in 6-12 months. For now, prevent infection. Your specialist will know what antibiotic ointment to place on the area. All the best, Dr Davin Lim
