I have a scar which has been red for a long time. I have tried silicone gel creams, fraxel restore and smartxide dot laser treatments which have not got rid of the redness of the scar tissue. My next option is to try V-beam perfecta laser what's the downtime for asian skin.
Answer: Minimal down time with VBeam The VBeam is a non ablative laser; it doesn't break the skin.The common aftermath are redness (invariable) and swelling (in my practice affecting about 20% of patients). Both resolve within 24-48 hours for most people.For certain conditions, like treating the redness in scar, the laser would be used at a setting which will intentionally bruise. For most, the bruising fades within about a week.

Answer: V-Beam is highly effective for the redness in scars In order to remove the redness in scars you generally have to do the V-Beam at a higher setting and have some bruising. This bruising can last one to two weeks but is highly effective. I think you will be very happy with the V-Beam. I am not sure why you had so many other lasers for this prior which are not indicated for treating the redness in scars.
