I am having the vbeam done by one doctor and steroid shots by another for me keloids on my chest and shoulder. (photo)

Asked By:bakitnaw in Truckee, CA

The reason for the two doctors, is because the dr with the v beam is the only one in town. Originally I was having my injections done by him also, but my scars got worse. The v beam works great, but I went to another doctor for the steroid injections and his treatments have helped significantly. I can't seem to match up the treatments on the same day, that's why I'm asking if it is okay if I have them a week apart, starting with the vbeam.
