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?
Answer: Safety of Vbeam treatments in managing rosacea symptoms When Vbeam treatments are performed by an experienced, board-certified dermatologist, the procedure is quite safe and effective in managing rosacea symptoms. Like any laser, the Vbeam is only as good as the provider that determines the settings and placement of the device. I encourage you to find a doctor with the qualifications necessary to help you manage your rosacea safely and effectively.

Answer: Laser Treatments for Facial Redness and Skin Erythema 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.

Answer: Improving Rosacea with Clear + Brilliant, peels and VBeam/Yellow lasers, Botox/Xeomin/Dysport A combination approach is needed to get the most improvement for Rosacea. For rosacea, I like using a combination of lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V, Clear + Brilliant) with peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Varying results depend on who is firing the laser! Pulsed dye laser (such as Vbeam or Vbeam Perfecta) can make a huge difference in rosacea, visible blood vessels (such as telangiectasias), and pink or red birthmarks. This widely-used laser is safe and effective when done appropriately, but the results can vary incredibly depending on the settings used and the expertise of whoever is firing the laser! If you want results, choose an MD who's experienced with this laser who can tailor the treatment to you, watch for the right endpoints and make adjustments as she goes, and help ensure that the settings are safe but powerful enough to get results.
