No results after 3 Vbeam sessions, can it take longer to see results?

Question

I had 3 Vbeam treatments 3 weeks apart between each. The last one was 2 weeks ago. It's for Rosacea. I have not seen any results yet. The focus is on my nose it's always red. I take Minocycline and Imervectine also. My problem is i don't see results from Vbeam yet and since the last treatment it's even worse, i'm flushing everyday. Is it possible that it takes more time to see results?

Our protocol for hyper-erythematous redness uses a combination of lasers and Nanofractional RF to help reduce localized and perfuse hypervascularity in the skin. We begin with an evaluation of the redness and evaluate the cause of the hypervascularity. Treatments with Limelight IPL, Vbeam Perfecta, and Nanofractional RF are then used to reduce the blood vessels and telangiectasia within the skin. Patients benefit from post-treatment application of Elevase Moisture Booster with ceramides.

For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. It will take a series of treatments and may need some treatments to maintain. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
