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...

Before the Doctor treated me he told me straight up that I will not see a great improvement with the vbeam.He told me that the central facial area is the most difficult to treat because the main blood flow to the face runs up along the chin to the side of the mouth, upper lip and sides of the nose. " Rory Several months ago, I tried to persuade 2 colleagues who are knowledgeable in laser treatments, to join this support group and answer questions posted. However, because of their very busy schedules, they could not make the commitment. I am happy to inform you that one of them has graciously agreed to answer your questions by e-mail through her medical staff. She is Dr. McBurney of Slidell, Louisiana. Dr. M is one of the laser pioneers and a lecturer on lasers at the American Academy of Dermatology meetings. She uses VBeam to treat rosacea patients. She is also familiar with other forms of lasers such as versapulse etc. She has also tried IPL. You can e-mail her at skincarespecial@.... I told Dr. Mcburney that if she gets overloaded, she can elect to answer the various questions once and I will forward her answer to the group. She is very busy, so it may take time before she answers. Please keep your questions brief. Hope you can get some clarification from a laser practitioner.
