Hi all, I had a terrible zit on the bridge of my nose. For some reason, a derm used liquid nitrogen on it because she wasn’t quite sure what it was (it was eventually decided it wasn’t any kind of skin cancer). After that and me messing with it too much, I’m left with this. It has been like this for 4 months. Redness with divot on the middle. Had 1 session of ipl two weeks ago and don’t even see a slight change. Would vbeam or some other combo be more effective? Thanks!

Doxycycline photosensitivity reactions occur at wavelengths that are filtered by the intense pulsed light
and the range of problematic wavelengths (350- 410 nm) are well short of the 595 nm wavelength of the Vbeam
So you should not have a problem with either of these devices.
