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

Asked By:lunfardi in Houston, TX

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?
