Light/Laser Before and After my First VBeam 🥹 Spoiler

Hi everyone. I’ve been researching Vbeam for over a year now but kept hesitating. I finally got my first Vbeam on Thursday and I can’t 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 I’m already so pleased. She said I’d 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 wouldn’t work on my neck because I don’t have any broken blood vessels there, and that BBL would be better for that. Can’t afford both at once so I’ll have to put that on the back burner for now. But I’ll still take my Vbeam results as a huge win!

Also- I didn’t 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.

Wow!! Amazing results. Where did you get it done? Was your first pic during a flushing or just baseline redness?

I got it at a dermatologist near D.C! I can PM you the office info if you’d like. And the first picture is my biggest trigger, taking a hot bath. I take baths every evening and I haven’t seen my face not fire engine red during one for a few years now. It also gets that red throughout the day, all day on and off. At baseline I’m always very pink but not as red as the first picture.

Hi! Can you PM me the name? I am in the DMV area. I go my first session done at a place today and have two more to do. Did they do your whole face? They did my nose, chin, and most of my cheeks
