I'm 29 years old and have a lot of freckles (dark brown hair, light skin but tan well) that I'd like removed. My sister had Vbeam and has been happy with the results but her doctor is in Ohio and I'm in Monroe, LA. I can't really find a doctor with vbeam here but my derma has Sciton Profractional Resurfacing that list for freckles. Question: What's the difference between the two? I'm trying to decide if I should go get the Profractional or if I should travel a bit to get the Vbeam.

Answer: V-Beam, Fraxel, Sciton, Clear and Brilliant
Blistering is not a normal reaction for the Vbeam, I suggest seeing hour board certified dermatologist for wound care at this point. Best, Dr. Emer.
No reason to stop before, but stop for 3-4 days after as your skin can be sensitive or swollen after V BEAM, once this settles, start using the BPO again. All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser Dermatologist, BRISBANE, Australia.
It is unlikely that there is any issue with your eyes. I have done this to myself, with everyone else protected, inadvertently. It can cause a temporary sensation like when you get a flash bulb go off in your eyes. Eye injuries will be occur immediately, so if no problems now, you won't have any...
