Is this post inflammatory hyperpigmentation after Vbeam Perfecta? (photos)

Question

Hello, In the last 4 months I had 4 treatments for some broken capillaries around my nose( the problem is still persisting). Since the last treatment, 3 weeks ago, the redness around my nose didn’t disappear. Is this hyperpigmentation? Is this ever gonna go away? Is there any cream I could use? This result is way much worse than some broken capillaries.

I recommend following up with your Doctor for a formal evaluation and after care. We use a specific protocol of exfoliation, hydration, and moisturizing along with protection after laser treatments. PDT therapy can calm any inflammation. I always combine lasers with microneedling/prp to get more of an outcome. Be sure to use proper sun protection (see link). See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
