I had vbeam 1 week ago for capillaries and diffuse redness around my nose and mouth. All the capillaries are gone, but the overall redness did not significantly improve. I don't have rosacea so the redness appears to be a combination of the capillaries, chronic irritation/thin skin, and previous acne. Therefore, my question is whether a second vbeam is likely to improve the redness? Or help keep the broken capillaries away? Else, I may just stick to the 1 treatment. Any alternatives?

Answer: Vbeam for redness Whether or not your redness resolves or improves is dependent on the settings on the Vbeam. More specifically, this is dependent on both the "pulse duration" and "fluence". In order to improve redness when spider veins are not present, a shorter pulse duration is needed in order to destroy smaller vessels that aren't visible to your eye. A word of warning, when shorter pulse durations are used, more bruising can take place.

Answer: Multiple Vbeam Treatments As with many laser treatments, one treatment is not sufficient to see the desired results. Vbeam is no different and should take at least 2-3 treatments before noticing a drastic improvement in capillaries and redness. Vbeam also needs to be repeated thereafter every few months for maintenance. I would not give up on it after one treatment but rather try at least one more and see if you are not noticing improvement.
