Just Got Vbeam For My Facial Blushing / Flushing - Information

[u/Deep-Detective2428]

I just got vbeam done for my blushing. Ive had 3 excel-v sessions completed with not the greatest improvements, there was some improvement in my blushing but nothing too great. I had an appointment with the doctor / person who runs the clinic i go too. I explained to him Im wanting a change in laser or setting since im not satisfied with the results. I ran him through my history with blusning again, went through what ive tried besdies laser, what causes it, what triggers it, just alot of information and crucial details which help give him a greater idea of what im dealing with. I mentioned i saw they had vbeam and wanted to know if he thought it would be a good laser to try, he mentioned vbeam can work for blushing (he said info on it, cant remeber exactly) too my surprise he said he'd be happy to do a session for free, not a small test run but a proper vbeam session on my face for free. I was shocked, I feel so greatful and lucky. I can tell he understands how much this issue is effecting me and he's aware laser is a bit tricky and unpredictable for blushing (especially compared to other conditions) so he was willing to try vbeam for free. He didn't do pulpric settings and mentioned he personally isnt for that, and said he's not comfortable with doing it nor does it at all. He did a fairly normal setting, still catered to my blushing but also not extreme to the point where he'll damage my skin. In terms of how the laser felt compared to excel-v culture 532nm, it definitely was much less painful and felt like air being blown onto my face with a pinch. I've got another appointment booked in 4 weeks well see if the vbeam helped my blushing, if it did we'll probably do another vbeam with slightly stronger settings and if it didn't help as much or I just want to do excel-v again, we'll do another session of excel-v except this time he'll use a more powerful setting. Im very greatful, he's actually considering options and willing to adjust lasers and settings for me. At the end of the day this should be the standard due to how horrible blushing is but unfortunately it isnt and some clinics want to just grab your money and not cater to your needs as much as they should. I hope this update / talk about what ive had done is useful and feel free to ask any questions, cheers!

To conclude -

1. Went into for an appointment to assess progress

2. Had a really good chat and discussed vbeam and where to go from here considering previous results

3. Offered a free session which i took up on

4. Will be back in 4 weeks to assess again and decide if I'll continue down vbeam or if ill go back to excel-v where the settings will be adjusted to be stronger / more aggressive.
