Vbeam - intense bruise induced new broken capillaries. Another session is recommended?

Question

I had 2 Vbeam sessions. My left cheek was bruised which stopped fading after 2 months. I'm now left with a reddish cheek. Research online learned me that for people who are prone to broken capillaries (myself), bruising will induce angiogenesis. I went back to the clinic and she told me that indeed there are a lot of broken capillaries. Another session with gentle settings would be the only thing that could help. I'm hesitant. What if new vessels will be created? Please advise.

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.
