Does Vbeam help reduce or eliminate the burning/stinging sensation felt with rosacea?

Steenie19Feb 10, 2022
Recently diagnosed with rosacea, and I have constant burning/stinging...and I'm not even red or flushing. I've tried topical and they make the feeling worst. I was wondering if light therapy like Vbeam would help reduce the burn sensation as well as redness after a few treatments?

Generally speaking, you want to wait about a month in between treatments like this to allow the skin its natural healing time. I suggest you consult with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
