Patients with darker skin have a higher risk of Vbeam, causing pigmentation, so tread with caution.
Immediately after treatment, your skin will feel warm, red, and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. Any discomfort should subside within a few hours to a week. There may also be some slight bruising (purpura) at the treatment site, which usually fades within the first one to two weeks. Also, pigmentation areas may appear darker for up to a week after treatment until new spot-free skin surfaces.
