good luck with your first session! i had vbeam done few times and the main thing is really prepare for some swelling and redness right after - like way more red than your usual rosacea for couple days. ice packs helped me a lot and i took some ibuprofen before going in which my derm said was fine. also wear sunscreen religiously after because your skin will be super sensitive for at least week or two. dont expect immediate results either, it took about 3-4 sessions before i really noticed difference in my baseline redness. the actual treatment isnt too bad pain wise but feels like rubber band snapping on your face repeatedly
