V-Beam on Cheeks to Get Rid of Intense Redness - San Jose, CA

At Kaiser Cosmetic Center they charged me $150. just to turn on the v-beam laser! Then it was $1 for each light flash of the laser. It added up quick because the laser does 2 fast flashes in a row every time, not one. The area the laser covers on the face is very small, so if they go all over your face, it could be expensive.

Last week I had v-beam laser done on my cheeks, which were very red when I went in for the treatment. The redness caused from the laser occured immediately upon treatment, and I left with more intense redness than I went in with. I was told this is normal, that it meant the laser was effective. This intense redness, which made my cheeks hot with a burning sensation, necessitated using cold packs on my cheeks for 2 days. On the third day, I woke up to find the intense redness half gone! By the fourth day, all the redness caused by the laser (with the exception of the purple bruise on the spot on my cheek) was gone. Today is the sixth day. The purple bruise is half-gone. At this point, I am left with my original redness, which has been reduced by about a third of that which I had before treatment. I was told that this redness will continue to lessen over the next 3 weeks.
