Are V Beam and PDL lasers the same thing? Are they a good treatment for redness?

December 28, 2016
Asked By:TheFrancesco in Miami, FL

I have mild Rosacea and I've been getting treatments for it. The derm has been giving what she calls "Pulse Dye Lasers". But on the bill after the treatment it is called "V Beam 595nm Face Full". Are these 2 things the same? And are they a good treatment for redness from mild Rosacea? How often should I get this treatment if it is? Thank you in advanced.
