About 3 months ago I had surgical complications from a tummy tuck which left me with a lot of scarring. A dermatologist recently started me on Vbeam, but wants to do it every two weeks. Is that too aggressive? Is it safe to do so often? My scars look even darker. After a few vbeam treatments, we then will move to the Halo laser for resurfacing. Would love to get thoughts on this approach.

Answer: Scars on Body -- Vascular Lasers (Vbeam) / Fractional Laser (Co2, Halo, Fraxel) / emeragecosmetics AERIFY/ENLIGHTEN/COSMELAN
