I’ve had several VBeams, my current setting for my cheeks is 7.5j, 7mm, 3ms, except under my eyes which is reduced to 7.25j, 7mm, 3ms. Both done on single pass only. I don’t get any bruising at these levels, I have skin type 1-2. I have stubborn capillaries, visible but very small, that are now slow to respond at the above settings.
