Hello,
I'm so exited about this new rosacea forum. I was wondering if someone can tell me the difference between these lasers. I've always thought that the best laser to treat rosacea was the V-beam. (?)
I also heard that the V-beam was the same as N-lite but more effective. (my dermatologist said that)
I'm getting so confused about all the laser treatments.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
kate

The [[Candela|Vbeam]] is a 595nm pulsed dye laser and is a good laser for rosacea. I am not sure what the specs are for the N-lite are or how effective it is or what it should be used for, sorry.
