Self tanning spray and V-beam. Any suggestions?

Question

Am I allowed to use self tanning spray 2-3 weeks after vbeam treatment? Even if there would be a few bruising spots which have not healed completely yet?

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

It is alright to have self tanner after the V-Beam but not before.  If you have self tanner before the V-Beam the laser could perceive it as pigmentation and burn you.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

This is perfectly fine. You must wait 2 weeks after application to get another laser. The pigment and/or metal particles in the tanner can affect the laser treatments.
