Both lasers target redness and stimulates bits of collagen and vstar is more expensive too than vbeam. my queries are: 1. does vstar improve better or give better results overall ie. scar texture, collagen stimulation, redness than vbeam ? 2. would you recommend vstar to fix the edges of a scar? 3. Which non-ablative lasers are better in improving texture of scar?
