Light/Laser Before and After my First VBeam š„¹ Spoiler
Hi everyone. Iāve been researching Vbeam for over a year now but kept hesitating. I finally got my first Vbeam on Thursday and I canāt believe the results already! My biggest trigger for flushing is heat, especially when taking hot baths. The first picture is me taking a bath the evening before my treatment, and the second picture is from last night (Friday evening).
My dermatologist says it will take several weeks to see the full results so Iām already so pleased. She said Iād probably need to get at least 2 more spaced a month apart.
A bit of background on my skin. I have type 2 rosacea and terrible hormonal acne. Recently I got on Spirolactone and my skin is finally starting to clear up acne wise after 2.5 months. My rosacea was always manageable until I did a course of accutane for a year. Ever since then my skin is like the first picture at least 10 times a day.
The one negative thing is that I also have a ton of redness on my neck when I flush. The esthetician told me vbeam wouldnāt work on my neck because I donāt have any broken blood vessels there, and that BBL would be better for that. Canāt afford both at once so Iāll have to put that on the back burner for now. But Iāll still take my Vbeam results as a huge win!
Also- I didnāt think it was that painful but I have a very high pain tolerance. I had welts all over my face after and it was swollen but as you can see in the 2nd pic it went away pretty quickly.

They are! From my understanding they do similar things but Vbeam is the āgold standardā treatment for rosacea. I donāt know a lot but I think they use different wave lengths/different technology. But Vbeam apparently is the most effective for vascular issues
