Vbeam Laser: The vbeam laser is a pulsed dye laser that targets both the visible blood vessels but also the tiny dilated bood vessels that cause the redness. Most patients will see improvement without bruising after 2-4 treatments.

Yes: Vbeam can treat the reddish discoloration. Ask your plastic surgeon.

Possibly: While discoloration of the skin is uncommon, even after revision rhinoplasty, it may persist for years or occasionally permanently. Discuss this with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist- there are a few lasers which might be useful to treat your condition.
