Guest guest Posted October 27, 2001 Report Share Posted October 27, 2001 Wanda, I never had any reaction. V-beam is not supposed to leave you with any aftermath telltale signs. Everyone is different. Perhaps the setting were too high for your skin. Did the doctor do a test spot with the machine several weeks prior to the treatment? Mine did one 6 weeks before I could start treatment. v- beam > I had a v-beam treatment Friday for the spider veins on my face. > Sat. morning my face was very swollen, is this normal.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 You should call the doctor, this doesn't seem right. You should be able to get something to bring the swelling down. Please let up know how you are doing. v- beam > It is 4:30 in the morning here and I,m sitting here crying.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Hi Wanda: I too had vbeam on my face last week Tuesday actually. I had the exact same thing as you describe. Day one right after the procedure I looked great... I looked better then I do during a flare. I iced my face all day as instructed. By evening my face began to swell and looked a bit rippled and lumpy in texture. I iced all night long switching occasionally from one cheek to the other only to wake up to what look liked a very swollen, bad sunburned looking face. I called the Dr who performed vbeam and they said this is very normal. The suggested I use a .5 hydrocortisone cream and take a benedryl. Well the benedryl did the trick as would have any allergy med. What a difference though. Benedryl took down the swelling a few hours later and got things under control. By the next day the swelling was mostly gone and the major redness. I only had residual redness and look better everyday. Tomorrow will be one week and I dont have any swelling. I am noticing less redness everyday. Funny though how hot my ears felt since then. Anyway, just wanted you to know your not alone. Write me if you want to compare notes.
