  7. 2 WEEKS POST EXCEL-V...

2 weeks post Excel-V treatment and I’m flushing intensely and in places I’ve never had facial redness before. Is this normal?

December 26, 2017
Asked By:C.Lee in San Jose, California

Prior to the laser I had mild redness on cheeks, nose and chest that would flare occasionally but not bad at all. I had the opportunity to do full face and chest Excel-V treatment but now I wish I hadn’t! It’s been 2 weeks and my face and chest with flare up super red out of now where and my face will itch. Did I just make my rosacea worse or is my skin just oversensitized and will settle down after a few more weeks?

This is not a concern, it is called purpura. It can happen with these treatments as blood leaks out of the vessels treated. It will go away but to expedite resolution, further treatment with the 532 wavelength can help.
