Number of V Beam treatments for dilated capillaries and redness?

March 16, 2017
Asked By:alisakarina in Boston, MA

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?
