Can I get VBeam treatment without it damaging my facial hair follicles and will stop me from being able to grow my beard back?

Question

Hi, I’ve been looking into getting treatment for my facial redness that covers my entire face but I’ve ran into some issues concerning my facial hair( I’m male). The first two treatments I heard about were IPL and VBeam but after reading up on IPL it seems there is no way for me to get it without it damaging my facial hair, I also read a lot of other things saying other light and laser therapy can also damage the hair follicle. So my question is will VBeam damage my facial hair?

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.
