Vbeam® is a pulsed dye laser that targets blood vessels beneath the skin's surface, using concentrated light energy to reduce their appearance without harming surrounding tissue. Vbeam® is used to treat unwanted facial redness caused by either individual blood vessels, Rosacea, acne scars and small red raised angiomas, offering a quick, minimally invasive option with little to no downtime.

Because Vbeam® targets blood vessels with precision, most patients see gradual improvement over a series of treatments, with results that continue to refine over time as the body clears the treated vessels. Dr. Ron Shelton is recognized as one of NYC's leading dermatologists for Vbeam® laser treatments, helping patients achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin for vascular concerns like these.

Well, I am writing this post to actually get my frustrations out. Living with eczema has been hard, has dragged my self-esteem down and has made me have insecurities about my body. Some nights it’s so hard to stop scratching that my bf wakes up to hold my hands from getting a steak out of my arm. I am absolutely tired of listening to “stop scratching”, “control yourself”. It is so hard when someone that does not know the sensations, gets to say something like this. I have explained a lot of times that I am in a constant fight with my own body, and shower time has become harder and harder. Now, I am showering only twice a week (obviously taking care of my basic hygiene), due to the killing sensation of a thousand needles across my whole body. Lately I have been a little down because it started spreading to my face and it’s absolutely terrifying. I can’t tell you how much money I have spent on creams and steroids and natural remedies.. My mother started her Aromatherapy business because of me actually, one of the reasons why. And she has been researching about eczema and psoriasis for a long time now and she has found some solutions, which I am starting now tbh. Like detergents, fabric conditioners, shower gel, shampoo, creams. Also she has told me to change my diet. Stop eating eggs, dairy products and eat lots of green leafy vegetables.

Skin conditions can develop due to a wide range of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, allergies, immune system responses, and environmental exposure. In Grandville, seasonal weather changes—such as cold winters and dry indoor heating—can contribute to skin dryness, irritation, and worsening of chronic conditions.

Some of the most frequently treated skin concerns in Grandville include acne breakouts, inflammatory skin disorders, contact dermatitis, fungal infections, pigmentation changes, and recurring rashes. These conditions may cause redness, itching, swelling, pain, or visible changes in skin appearance.

Proper evaluation by a trained dermatology professional ensures accurate diagnosis and prevents unnecessary or ineffective treatments. Treatment plans may include prescription medications, topical therapies, lifestyle recommendations, and follow-up monitoring to track progress.
