Can V beam stimulate collagen?

Question

Last week I had a vbeam treatment. Now I have read that vbeam can stimulate collagen. For the most people that would be a very nice side effect but I am a bit afraid of it as I already have a very round face. I do not want to look "puffy". I am 20 and do not have any wrinkles. Could it be that my face will be fuller because auf vbeam? :(

In my opinion there is no collagen production from the Vbeam.  We combine this treatment with nonablative lasers and microneedlng to get the long term collagen stimulation.  Best, DR. Emer.

V-beam alone has the capability to both reduce redness and tighten. Lasers stimulate collagen on different levels. For best results you should consult with a doctor to see what laser treatment is best for you. The V-beam can work wonders when combined with another laser. Here at my practice I created a 3D skin-tightening treatment. It combines the V-beam and the Collagenesis (GentleMax laser). When used in one session the two lasers firm and tighten. Our patients have walked out extremely happy. I recommend two or three sessions, the results will last you for up to a year. A laser should not make your face fuller, if there is any swelling or redness after a laser this will go down and not effect your face shape. There should be no downtime with V-beam.
