I have a small recent hypertrophic scar on my nose, which was healing fine but remained slightly red and very slightly raised. I went to a dermatologist today who suggested VBeam and performed a few zaps using a non-purpuric module, so wasn't too intense and did not hurt. However, my scar instantly swelled up and became more raised and red right after, this has continued for 6 hours, I'm scared it won't improve. If I put pressure on the scar it remains flat for a while before raising again.
Hello I have thread veins on my face accompanied with Rosacea. I want to try Vbeam but I have heard from some patients that they tended to experience more dryness/itching with these kinds of pulse light laser treatments. is there any kind of treatment that could help me other than these?
What are my options for telangiectasias that were dilated/worsened by hyfrecator/cautery. I have Fair skin, very fine telangiectasias on thin skin under eyes and on cheeks.Vessels were 1-2 mm or pinpoints.They're WORSE than before, as if the collapse of one part of the vessel maximally dilated others and NEW ones at the periphery AFTER the procedure (new tendrils appeared). I am so disheartened/regretful and would appreciate honest opinions and options. What do I pursue now?Veingogh? Vbeam?
I developed flushing after a 2 month round of prednisone. It's a side effect of the steroid that my dr said would go away after stopping. However, I stopped the meds about 10 months, but the flushing hasn't stopped. It spans over my face/neck/chest & is super hot/painful/distracting. I was told it's rosacea & so far I've gotten 2 laser treatments. I'm worried bc I've noticed the really hot feeling is super prominent along my jawbone. Can the laser treatment actually make the flushing worse?
Can very fine, thread-like red veins look worse one day after a Vbeam treatment? I thought that they were eradicated instantly, as has been my past experience with Vbeam treatments. I'm not talking about swelling or purpuric bruising. The actual veins that were lasered look more defined/redder a day after. I also asked for a purpuric setting, but the nurse performing the treatment said she couldn't get my skin to bruise. It would only momentarily turn purple and then quickly return to normal.
I'm nearly 3 weeks Post OP on three hypertrophic (already flat) scars that I wanted to improve the appearance of. My cosmetic dermatologist used the following lasers: 1. Pico, 2. V-beam, 3. 1540 Non-ablative Fractional ICON XD. The scars all look the same except they are darker and much more noticeable than they were before. In sum, all three scars look worse. I regret spending the money. Can Bleaching creams reverse this? Here is one scar before and after.
Can you tell me what could have gone wrong and can it be fixed? My skin texture has changed and I have scarring. I had some acne scarring prior but not like this.
I had Fully Ablative laser 7 months ago. I went to a well known doctor in LA to have a V-beam Laser and it made everything worse. I am thinking my face is resistant to the V-beam wavelength as I had this in the past many times for my 2 surgical scars with no results. Please help me with this with a real answer without copying and pasting a generic response to my question.
I have been having v beam treatments on and off for a few years. My experience with it has been awful. After every treatment I end up with more broken capillaries than before. My skin looks horrible. I continue to have the treatments because each time I pray that the ones caused by the last one will go away and no new ones will appear. It never works, however, and I am devastated that I even started with this. What do I do? I am desperate and extremely devastated by what I look like.
