I would like to get IPL but have read too mush about potential harm to subcutaneous layers, and long term side effects. What is the risk for V-beam long term side effects? Vis-a-vis IPL, how deeply does the V-beam penetrate? Also I have heard it called a "pulsed dye laser" Can you explain a little about what that means and how it works?

It would be adviseable to wait up to 1 month before having an IPL after a traditional Face Lift or Minimal Incision Face Lift. The less tissue dissection versions, 2 weeks and 4 weeks for the more aggressive Face Lifts.
One IPL treatment is not nearly enough to improve visibly the redness of your face.
You may observe a noticeable diference after 3 or 4 treatments.
The IPL cannot and would not make your dilated capillary ("broken vessel") worse.
If it looks worse, most likely...
