Any information about YAG/Aerolase Laser melting facial filler? Any personal experiences or info about studies done?

Radiesse was injected in the cheeks by a Dr I’ve trusted for years. One month later at a different office, I was getting a Aerolase (type of YAG laser) for a byosy scar on my neck, and redness on my face. I had concerns that some lasers could melt filler. I told the technician I had filler about 30 days earlier, maybe she should not do my face, she assured me it was safe for the filler.The next day there was a slight change, but over a months time it melted down to almost nothing. 3 months gone

This is difficult to answer without pictures. It may appear darker, almost black. If you have questions about your treatment, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Cherry angiomas can be improved with V-Beam. Best, Dr. Emer

Most vascular lasers will show results immediately, but this depends on the application and the device. Be sure to see an expert who is a physician and specializes in facial aesthetic procedures as laser treatments, especially around the eyes, are not without risk.All the best,
