Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 I have been receiving VBeam laser treatments every 6 weeks since this fall. I have had four treatments on my nasal fold area and three treatments on my cheeks and chin. My cheeks are a good 60% better but I see no improvement in my chin and none on my nose, the two areas most affected my rosacea. In fact, the redness is spreading in the nose area. I know that since the VBeam is gentler than the standard pulse dye laser that improvement takes longer. However, I am wondering, has anyone has success with VBeam treatment? a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
