Vbeam - is it safe to do it two weeks after septoplasty?

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.

Thank you for your question. It is best to wait at least up to 4 weeks before doing any laser treatments. I hope this helps!

Since a septoplasty procedure only concerns structures inside the nose, it should be fine to have a V beam treatment 2 weeks after your surgery.  The eyewear during the laser treatment will not affect the septum in your nose.
