Is it safe to have Vbeam done on your face for rosacea if you are currently taking doxycycline?

February 14, 2019
Asked By:Reliable289 in Naperville, IL

I am on doxycycline 50 mgs once a day for ocular Rosacea. I have facial Rosacea, just redness and painful burning on nose, cheeks, etc. I saw a dermatologist who said the only thing that may work for me is the Vbeam. If so, how long should I discontinue doxycycline before a Vbeam session? I heard you are even more sensitive with the doxy in your system. I am super pale and fair, except for the redness. I also have very sensitive skin, which is why I'm hesitant to get the laser procedure done.
