For some background - I have had this chronic inflammation around my eyes for a couple of years now. It is around both of my eyes. My dermatologist has prescribed me a few items like steriod creams, jak inbitors, calcineurin inhibitors antifungal. With no luck they did a biospy w/results stating Compatible with focally dilated follicle" eventually they tried vbeam and saw no improvement. Are they doing something wrong? They even did bruising settings.

I have never found that numbing was necessary prior to performing a Vbeam laser treatment on a patient. There is normally a coolant which is delivered to the skin just prior to the laser reaching the skin, and this helps with any discomfort. I also normally do not perform a spot test on patients.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V, BBL, Pico), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
