I'm going in on Tuesday for my final vbeam session for rosacea. Due to the per-procedure instructions I have stayed away from the sun/tanning lotions since a month before my first session. After my last session is it ok to start using self tanner again?

Answer: V-Beam treatment and self tanner You asked a good question since you can't use self tanner before most lasers. The reason that you can't use self tanners before lasers is that the laser will perceive the tan as "real" and you can get burned. The same thing can happen with laser hair removal and you can end up with a laser burn. Since you will no longer be doing the V-Beam and are finished with your treatments it is safe now to use self tanner. Please consult an expert in lasers for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
