V-beam Laser to Treat Redness After Laser Resurfacing?

I often recommend the VBEam laser after microlaser peel or fractional co2 laser treatments to reduce the redness.  The Vbeam will require multiple treatments. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Redness after laser resurfacing may be simply a reflection of the healing process but may also represent a reaction to something you are applying to your skin, delayed healing, etc.  If you are concerned about the amount of redness present after your resurfacing procedure, I recommend letting the physician who performed your treatment examine you.  If all else is OK, either VBeam laser or IPL should help to reduce redness.

There is always some erythema after a laser peel, but in most cases this should resolve quickly.  The only group where residual redness can be longer than usual are those with very fair skin and rosacea.  Be careful with the Topicort as this is way too strong to use on the face and could in time cause skin thinning and appearance of small capillaries.  8 Weeks out is too long for infection, but may indicate and irritant or contact reaction to a product you are using on your skin.  If all of this has been ruled out gentle treatment of the redness with IPL or BBL may be indicated.   Good luck!
