Does the VBeam laser show immediately results?

Are VBeam laser results immediate or does it improve over time? I had a first treatment a few weeks ago. My skin does not show much improvement. I have tiny blood vessels on my cheeks and around my nose. I feel they look the same as before the treatment. Can I expect to see improvements when more time has passed?
