V-beam for matting on leg post sclerotherapy? (Photos)

Question

I developed matting after sclerotherapy on my left leg (right below m knee). I have been told V-beam PDL will work for this. I have also been told YAG can work too, but I hear more positive things about PDL. Which one is best for this type of vascular lesion. It gets much worse when hot or in shower (when vessels are open). Next, question I am having a hard time finding a doctor who uses/performs the laser (mostly laser techs -is this okay?).

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.
