What is the most "aggressive" (non-purpuric) V Beam settings for erythematotelangiectatic rosacea?

June 8, 2017
Asked By:redfaced87 in United Kingdom, GB

I have had a few sessions of VBeam with fairly aggressive settings for the treatment of erythematotelangiectatic rosacea but I have had five sessions and the results have been rather slow (although there has been some improvement). Please could a qualified Vbeam specialist let me know the most aggressive non-purpuric (or borderline purpuric) settings and/or number of passes for optimal results. I have an appointment tomorrow so a speedy response would be much appreciated!

I have melasma or PIH from laser. Underneath are some broken capillaries. Is it safe to do V Beam even though it's in the spot?
Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS says:

PIH is a process that is quite common after surgery. Known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, PIH can make your scars look far worse than they should be.
