Redness returning after initial vbeam?

RS108Mar 8, 2016
I have some redness and dilated capillaries on my nose. I had an initial non purpuric vbeam done 2 weeks ago (note I am Indian hence have light brown skin). The first week post treatment were very good with redness reduced to an impressive extent. However by 2 weeks after the treatment some of the redness has come back. Is this normal? Will they eventually go completely after successive treatments? Thanks.

No, not using moisturiser for a week is highly unlikely to affect the outcome.However, skincare is important and if you are having treatment because of facial redness, rosacea etc, uv protection is even more important in maintaining the results.
