Is it normal to still be really red three weeks after getting Vbeam?

If you are red after 3 weeks from your VBeam, you need to discuss with your doctor.  I would think that there is another reason for this like too much Retin A, or some other oral medication.  Might also be a flair of rosacea.  In any event, it can't be diagnosed without seeing your doctor.  Steve Weiner, MD, Facial Plastic Surgeon.

3 weeks out for increased redness after a VBeam session is unusual. Depending upon the settings used with the pulsed-dye laser, you may experience significant darkening or bruising in the area, however, that should resolve within 2-3 weeks after which time I would expect the redness to have improved.
