How far apart can I space out BroadBand Light treatment for broken capillaries?

Question

I'm considering BBL for broken capillaries. It's hard to get so much time off work so close together since we're short staffed. I don't think I can take off once per month. How much time can I go between each treatment & still see results?

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.

Hi RSUN77, BBL should be done every 4-6 weeks or 3-5 times a year. Each session should be a month or so apart give or take a few weeks. Best advice would be to find a time of the year that is flexible for you to schedule them in a row to see best results

Hello RSUN77,
Thank you for your question. We ideally schedule BBL 3-4 weeks apart.  If you wait longer, it is fine, it will just take you longer to get to your goal. Remember to use spf diligently all the time, every day and throughout the day. If you are worried about taking time off for "social downtine" , there should not be any downtime really. That is why this treatment is so popular, because of it;s "no downtime" feature. Hope this helps! All the best, Manish Khanna, MD FRCPC
