“Regretting v beam? ”
V Beam: NOT worth it
Cost: $150
Pain: Mild
Pain: Mild
V Beam satisfaction: Fair
I did the V Beam to treat rosascea on my nose and inner cheek area as well as a few broken caps.
Pros: Not very painful
Cons: Major bruising, actually look worse right now.
I have very obvious bruising from the V Beam treatment I had on 5/8/09- looks like chicken pox on my nose & inner cheek area. When can I expect to see improvement?

I had deep purple bruising too from v beam one month ago. The bruises are supposed to fade in about 14 days. But if you apply Microret k to the bruises every four hours will you are awake, they will fade completely in 5 days. Wait till the second day after your treatment to start using microret k, because it has retinol, so it might be a little irritating. How ever if you can't get this cream you can use any vitamin k cream. If it only contains vitamin k with no irritating ingredients, you can start using it right away. It might work slower than microret k but still can cut bruise time in half. This is what my plastic surgeon recommended me and worked as I said.
