Will V-Beam Be More Effective if I Induce a Flare Up Right Before Treatment?

December 3, 2010
Asked By:Firedan5415 in San Luis Obispo, CA

I'm curious to know if causing a flare up right before I get my laser done would make it more effective. Would this bring the vessels to the surface making it easier to target? I could do a hard workout before hand, or drink some alcohol beforehand.
