How long to wait after Vbeam procedure before CO2 laser? Can I have Vbeam 1 week after?

Question

My skin barely gets red after Vbeam, the healing is very fast. I know the waiting time should be 4 weeks or more, but because CO2 has significant downtime I can only do it during holidays which are coming up, that would make it 1 week after Vbeam. How risky is it?

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.
