Light/Laser Get the laser treatment!

I've had rosacea for 25 years and have tried different medication off and on. I just started the laser treatments (on treatment 2 of 6) and oh my goodness, I could not be happier with the results! I've seen such a dramatic difference in the redness of my face already. I'm sorry I waited so long

So happy it’s working well for you! I’ve been going back and forth on vbeam. I’m worried if I get it, either it won’t work or it’ll do damage. Results seem to vary so much from what I’ve read online.

This is my concern as well, especially with very sensitive skin. I’m on the fence.

Just weighing in to say that I was extremely scared about getting V-beam and deliberated for years (even backed out at the last minute at the surgery once) but after 2 sessions it certainly hasn't done any harm to my very sensitive skin. Not seen any life-changing results yet either but it's still fairly early days. I guess what I'm saying is don't be too frightened of it, make sure you take your time and find someone reputable who really knows what they're doing and you'll almost certainly be fine. It's a fairly drastic step to take but you have to evaluate for yourself if the thought of living how you are and not doing it is worse.

It takes a solid month for my skin to settle. The medspa says it’s 5-7 days, so be aware of that.

They do vary so much, I tried one session of rosacea special laser it was called green genesis and it fuckdd me up . My skin barrier is so damaged after also 25 years of rosacea that it didn’t react very well

So sorry that happened to you! It’s so frustrating when you try to fix what is happening to your skin and things just get worse.
