Is Vbeam Prima the best option for rosacea?

Question

Is this the best option for rosacea? I think I have a fairly mild type 1

Mitchel Goldman, MD · Answer

The Vbeam Prima is a very good choice for treating rosacea symptoms like skin redness and visible capillaries. This device is designed to reduce vascular concerns by targeting the redness under the skin’s surface. Vbeam is an office treatment that does not require anesthesia or downtime afterward. It is essential to work with a board-certified doctor with extensive training in this treatment for the best possible result.

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 use the Vbeam Prima in my clinic and it is an excellent laser to help manage the symptoms of rosacea. This vascular laser is adept at targeting redness in the skin to reduce both visible blood vessels and diffuse redness common with this condition. The treatment does not require any downtime afterward and results can be long-lasting. 
Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist who will have expertise in managing stubborn rosacea symptoms. Keep in mind that this condition is chronic and there is no cure at this time. However, effective management can keep symptoms at bay over the long term.
