Treatment to Even out Pinkness/redness After Laser Resurfacing?

Treatment with the V-Beam laser after undergoing laser skin resurfacing can absolutely enhance the healing process to effectively even out blotchy redness. There are not many risks associated with having this treatment after laser skin resurfacing, though excessive bruising is possible if treatment with the V-Beam laser is too aggressive. I would advise that your doctor use a lower setting to not aggravate the situation further.

It is normal for the face to heal at different rates especially after an aggressive laser treatment. The settings used will yield great results, however, residual redness is a common complaint from patients. The redness can be improved by using the BBL application of the Sciton (same laser used for your procedure). I had great results using this type of laser on my patients for post procedure redness. Your other option is to do nothing, over time your skin will heal and the redness will subside. The most important advice I have is to stay out of the sun and always wear sunscreen. Red skin can turn into permanently dark skin if exposed to sun light. This is called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and is much harder to remedy than red skin.
