Is V-beam/Pulse dye laser treatment a good option for me?

Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types.

Even if your lesion is now flat, if it is still pink or red the Vbeam will help to decrease redness and fade discoloration. It may also help prevent recurrence of the keloid. I find sometimes keloids grow back unexpectedly, and a clue of keloid activity is often itching. The earlier you start treating the keloid if you start to feel itching the better control you will have over the scar.

I treat all my patients with either vbeam or 577nm pro yellow to treat and prevent keloids.  if they are flat and there is "scar" still there, then fractional laser also helps the cosmetic apperance.  Best, Dr. Emer.
