Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 I had two treatments with a similar pulse-dye laser before my Dr. switched to an actual " v-beam " for my third treatment, and I noticed the same thing. The Dr. said it's a good sign because it shows that some healthy skin is showing through. The pinker areas should blend in with the lighter ones as the treatments progress. That's what they told me, anyway, and it makes sense. After my third treatment (first v-beam, though), my face seems paler when at rest than it did before, with less of that blotchiness I had after the first and second treatments. The overall redness has faded considerably, but when I flare, I still flare to the same extent. She said that's something they can address during future treatments. Let's hope so! Hope that helps and good luck! > For those who have had v-beam, could you please tell me if it made > your face blotchy? I've had 2 treatments, and am going back for a > 3rd.
