I have Keratosis Pilaris Rubra. Is PDL recommended for these dots? Is there anything else I can do for this? (photo)

Question

My derm said I have Keratosis Pilaris Rubra, not to be confused w/Keratosis Rubra. I have Round flat red Dots all over legs. My friend has the same issue. She did 2 Vbem laser sessions a few months ago and had to d/c since she developed white spots all over her legs, as if it is now discolored. She is olive skin like me, Hispanic. Is PDL not recommended for Olive skin? Is PDL not the right procedure for these dots? Is there anything else I can do for this? Glycogen peels didnt work

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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.
