Is it okay to get a BBL photo facial and a vascular laser excel-v treatment within a couple weeks of each other?

Question

I have three BBL photo facial treatments that were given to me as a gift, but had been planning on getting vascular laser excel-v treatments (booked but not yet paid for). My main concern I’m wanting to address is redness-rosacea and flushing (though secondary I’d like to remedy some acne scars and textural issues left from severe acne years ago). I’m wondering if I should cancel my excel v treatments or if I can do them spaced a couple weeks apart from BBL

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

The BBL should help somewhat with your redness as well as pigmentation. However, the Vbeam is the gold standard laser for treating redness. I would suggest having the V-Beam laser to treat the redness a few weeks later, but this still will not address the textural issues or acne scars. Other lasers such as Fraxel, eMatrix, or microneedling are better able to address acne scars. Please consult an expert in acne scars for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
