Is it true that age affect the patients suitability for Vbeam laser treatment? (photos)

Question

I have some small red spider veins and some small red splodges on my cheeks. I am considering if my skin type is suitable for Vbeam treatment. I don't know if there age age groups that are not suitable for treatment and why.

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.

I have not found age to be an issue in treating patients with a Vbeam laser.  Just based on your photos, you appear to me to be a good candidate for the treatment.

I have a few broken capillaries in my under eye area - would Vbeam laser be a good treatment option? (photo)

VBeam for broken capillaries. Are there different versions of the VBeam laser? Can VBeam cause damage?

Does it matter if Vbeam's performed by an anesthetist vs. a doctor and is there risk of permanent damage?
