Left me with burns

I've been treated with Vbeam and IPLs for rosacea at least 12 times without incident. After being told that the Excel V offered less down time than Vbeam, I took their advice. I was left with burn marks and hyperpigmentation. Choose your provider carefully. I'm about 85% healed but some spots could be permanent.

I’ve had about 5 full face excel v’s and I usually leave with similar looking marks. Some are brown spots that flake off after about 5-7 days and others are actually ruptured blood vessels that diminish and disappear after a week. I take both as desired aeffects. As for the slight discoloration left after the spots flake off, they usually disappear after about 6 weeks. (But I also regularly use Tretinoin).

Anyway..my .02 ...I unusually go for aggressive treatments....more bang o your buck. (But more swelling)...

Spots peeled after 10 days but I was left with hyperpigmentation that can take up to 2 years to fade.

Do they have you using specific creams? I have one similar looking "burn" from a recent BroadBand Lighting treatment. I hope it heals.

Those aren’t burns. That’s the pigment rising to the surface and flaking off.
