If V Beam is more recommended over IPL for rosacea among doctors, why is the user rating so low on V Beam?

Asked By:rjerks in Los Angeles, California

I've been reading that vbeam is the gold standard for rosacea laser treatment and much more effective than IPL. This is what most/all doctors say. However, when I read the reviews on vbeam, there are dozens of horror stories of scarring, no result or hyper pigmentation (that seem permanent being still around years later still). Why is there such a gulf in opinions from the doctors and users on vbeam?
