Redness not fading after 3 Vbeam treatments

Question

I had abdominal surgery about 6 months ago. I had 3 v beam treatments since then, but my scar is still just as red as ever. Treatment was provided by my dermatologist but I wonder if I should see someone else because this does not appear to be effective. Am I being too impatient or do I have a legitimate concern about whether my vbeam treatment is being done correctly?

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.
