Left me with burns

ORIGINAL POST

Left Me with Burms.

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)...
How's your healing going?
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.
Keep us posted on your progress?
Those aren’t burns. That’s the pigment rising to the surface and flaking off.
Hello can you update us on your skin? Hope all is well!
