Redness and scarring from vbeam 10 months ago - how long will recovery take? (Photos)

morningglory1Dec 1, 2023
10 mo ago I got my 3rd vbeam to treat mild redness for seb derm. It left me with very red/aggravated skin. 2 derms afterwards said it was too aggressive and caused scarring. While it’s improved, progress plateaued and it’s still a lot redder than before, with more broken capillaries. It flushes intensely when I smile. I currently alternate between pimecrolimus+metronidazole , and zorvye + rosacea triple gel. I used Desonide previously. Will I ever get my old skin back? How long will it take?

As you have seen, purpura can occur after a Vbeam laser treatment. The laser treatment can be effective, with or without purpura developing. It is very common that multiple treatment sessions are needed to obtain the best improvement.
