Vbeam for PIE after bacterial folliculitis?

Question

Hello doctors. I had a bacterial fllliculitis in my beard (Klebsiella and streptococcus). I’m still taking antibiotics (cipro and cefa) and 20 mg of Accutane for prophylaxis, but it’s been a month right now and even when my skin is cured, folliculities left me with red marks in the area (maybe PIE, cause I’m very white). One of my dermatologist says we can do Vbeam Candela to treat the redness. Do you recommended this procedure?

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.
