Question

There are so many treatments out there, what is the newest, safest and most effective?

William Groff, DO · Answer

It’s far better to consider the experience and expertise of the doctor you select than the device used. A board-certified dermatologist with expertise in laser treatments for diffuse redness will be able to tailor your treatment to your precise needs and skin tone to achieve the best possible results. I personally prefer the Vbeam for many of my patients, which is a pulse dye laser. However, there are other options to consider as well. As long as you are working with a qualified provider, you should expect to see a good outcome from your treatments.

there are many treatments for redness, what matters most is whos hands its in.  in my opinion yellow laser and excel v are the best for diffuse redness, pulsed dye/v beam is great for vascular birth marks, and aerolase and yellow laser for telangiectasias.  Light stim should be used weekly.  Best, Dr. Emer.
