It has been 5 days since I had a test patch w/ the Vbeam perfecta done on bottom of cheek. She did 3 pulses. I woke up next morning w/ it swollen like a mosquito bite. I guess you would say it looks like a welt. It took until day 3 before it started to go down at all but day 4 & 5 it hasn't went down anymore. Should a test patch stay swollen this long? What should I do?
I have round circles after Vbeam treatment. Seem to be swollen. Done 2 days ago Dr says this will subside on its own. Dr says it's inflammation. Use ice and a cortisone cream? How long should swelling last? And is this normal? Don't know the exact setting of Vbeam but ..bruise setting >>>
I had a few days ago a 20 minute session with laser Vbeam perfecta for my cuperosis and facial keratosis treatment. My doctor only prescribed a normal face cream for redness and a 50 SPF cream with sun protection factor. But my face still look all bumpy like the skin of an orange. What else can I use to help it heal? For me the treatment was quite painful and skin is still tingly and sensitive
3 weeks after vbeam, I have mild swelling, wrinkle - like lines, and pronounced skin texture changes on my forehead where treatment was done. I noticed these 3 days post treatment & have not seen improvement (my forehead still has redness). I'm concerned these could be long-term. I followed up w/MD and he recommends I wait 1 month before really making an assessment. I don't want to assume role of Dr., but something isn't right. Looking for help as this is impactful.
I had v beam perfecta laser for spider veins on my nose, cheeks, and chin, the treatment was about 30 minutes by an aesthetician at my dermatologists office. She said I might have some bruising. This treatment was Friday. This is Sunday, 48 hours after treatment and I am so swollen! My face is enormous! When will this go away! I cannot leave my house! Of course their office is closed for the weekend.
Is this kind of swelling normal? It has been one week-I am much, much better, and my skin looks good, but I still have swelling under my chin on the right side of my neck-How long before all swelling is expected to go away? thank you?
I had no idea the swelling would be so extreme. The clinic is not open until Monday and I have no one to ask. I am icing and taking Benadryl and elevating my head. Please let me know if there is something I can do for the swelling under my eyes!
I just had my 2nd v-beam treatement for rosacea (my last one was 3 years ago). The area under my eyes is so severely swollen...I got to wondering if this is stretching the skin out below my eyes which will cause that skin to lose firmness and look more wrinkled later on? It's very severely swollen. Thanks Linda
I had Vbeam I had Vbeam done around 3 months ago. It was my third session. The first time I did it, it was very light and there was no swelling at all, and there was no problem. But the second and third time my doctor did it, he increased the intensity and there was swelling for 3 days. the areas where I had it done has left my skin more red than it was before. It's like a light redness and you can even see the outlines of where the laser was done. Will this go away in time?
