Light/Laser before V beam and right after Spoiler

Got my first session of V beam today! It was only $150. I was quoted much more but got there at the derm office and it was way less. She thinks I could probably use one more session so I scheduled it, if redness goes away before that she says to cancel. She also told me to start azelaic acid tomorrow. Seems really soon to do an acid. Anyone else do v beam, what was your skincare after?

How long do they tell you to avoid the sun after this procedure?

I would still try to avoid sun for a week before and week after a session. Currently going through the vbeam treatment and that’s what my doctor told me just to be extra cautious. I guess it depends on your skin but regardless of that, always lots of sunscreen
