I have never found that numbing was necessary prior to performing a Vbeam laser treatment on a patient. There is normally a coolant which is delivered to the skin just prior to the laser reaching the skin, and this helps with any discomfort. I also normally do not perform a spot test on patients.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V, BBL, Pico), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
