V Star vs V Beam laser?

Question

Hi, what is the difference between vstar and vbeam? i find very lil information about vstar. From what i've found, they are alike. 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?

The VBeam Perfecta is an excellent machine that is reliable and very effective for vascular type problems. I have used the VBeam and have seen excellent results with minimum complications. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Never heard of V Star and wouldn't recommend it.  It must be a small laser company trying to ride the coattails of the VBeam.  Don't try it.  My preference for treating reds now is the Excel V laser.  It can treat what you want to be treated.
