Best laser for redness and veins? (Photos)

Question

Have had two Vbeam treatments so far, last one approx 2 months ago. I am still red and my skin flushes really easily. Topicals or doxycycline have not seemed to help in the past. IPL makes me swollen for over 5 days; Vbeam does not-- just the purple marks. The last setting used was medium-ish, leaving a 'manageable' amount of purple marks. Are there better treatments out there? Can IPL be performed a few days after Vbeam? Or should I just stick with Vbeam? higher setting :( ? Thank you

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.
