I got V Beam Perfecta 2 days ago for broken capillaries and redness. How soon will fill results be apparent? (Photo)

In our office, we have several treatments that can help improve common vascular skin issues, including rosacea, post-inflammatory erythema, red scars, facial blushing, and spider veins. The Vbeam laser continues to be the gold standard for redness, including rosacea and post-inflammatory erythema. In some cases, we add Venus Viva RF coagulation to help improve redness on the skin from spider veins, inflammation, and rosacea.

Generally, several sessions are required to improve redness on the skin. Vbeam laser, IPL Limelight, and Venus Viva all work very well with minimal downtime.

Patients with rosacea may benefit from topical creams to help soothe inflamed skin. We recommend Elevase Moisture Booster. For Post-inflammatory erythema, Plato’s Scar Serum is recommended twice daily.

Best,

It usually will take several weeks to see the results after a Perfecta laser treatment.  I normally would wait at least 6 weeks before treating any areas again.  

VBeam can cause some residual redness and swelling for 2-3 days after treatment. For best results, I typically recommend patients have a second treatment done one month after the first. Monthly treatments can be done for maintenance as capillaries can naturally reappear over time.
