Is the V Beam vascular laser recommended for removal of dark red spots on the skin?

Question

I had plastic surgery to remove a very tiny birthmark on one of my cheeks. where i live mederma isnt available for some reason and hence didnt use it. my scar is smaller than a coin but not using mederma caused it to become darkened and reddish like! will the v beam vascular laser be able to make the discoloration completely disappear/go away to the point where it will look my other cheek where no surgery has ever taken place? does such a laser of any kind even exist let alone be that good?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our protocol for hyper-erythematous redness uses a combination of lasers and Nanofractional RF to help reduce localized and perfuse hypervascularity in the skin. We begin with an evaluation of the redness and evaluate the cause of the hypervascularity. Treatments with Limelight IPL, Vbeam Perfecta, and Nanofractional RF are then used to reduce the blood vessels and telangiectasia within the skin. Patients benefit from post-treatment application of Elevase Moisture Booster with ceramides.

This is tough to answer without pictures. Usually a combination approach is needed to give improvement to these types of scars with lasers (VBeam, Excel V), microneedling/prp and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
