Vbeam for very very mild type 1 rosacea. Mostly just random flushing, is it worth it? (Photos)

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.

The choice to treat or not is yours. If you are bothered by the flushing, then Vbeam will help. Like many vascular issues, maintaining control of redness with Rosacea requires consistent attention.There are creams and oral medications that help with redness, as well as skin products that are developed for such a problem.You "can" bruise with Vbeam so be aware of that potential. Talk to your doctor about other lasers that are on the lighter end of the spectrum, or even Broad Band Light.

Hello and thank you for your question. Vbeam is an excellent laser treatment for the diffuse redness and flushing commonly seen with rosacea. You can start the treatment even now when the symptoms are still relatively mild. It will not make the condition worse. Keep in mind that rosacea is a chronic condition that does not have a “cure.” The best you can do is keep symptoms at bay with treatments as needed. Fortunately, lasers like Vbeam are quite adept at managing the stubborn symptoms of rosacea and should help you maintain clearer skin. Make sure you are working with a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in treating rosacea and this condition can be challenging to manage.
