V-beam should not affect the effect or longevity of a hyaluronic acid filler like Restylane or Juvederm. To be safe, get the v-beam procedure first, then injectables.Hope this helps.
I agree that the Vbeam laser does not affect the longevity of Hyaluronic acid fillers. One useful application of the Zvbeam is the treating of bruising after filler injection. If a patient bruises after hyaluronic acid injection, I have them return the next day for Vbeam and find the bruising resolves much faster.
The VBeam laser emits only one wavelength of light that only interacts with red targets. It only effects blood vessels (because they are red) near the surface of the skin. Juvederm is colorless and does not absorb the VBeam light. In addition, Juvederm is injected deeply at a level the VBeam laser cannot reach.
We inject a lot of fillers and we also do many V Beam treatments. The two do not effect each other.
The V-beam laser is a vessel targeting laser that will improve the redness associated with dilated vessels called telangiectases. If these are present around your mouth, then it will be helpful. The V-beam does not target the hyaluronic acid found in fillers like Juvederm. Patients that have filler can be treated safely with the V-beam, but I wait at least 3 days after the injection. I do not treat patients with Juvederm or other fillers on the same day as the V-beam because of the temporary redness and swelling that typically occurs with each procedure. It is not dangerous; it just makes the results less predictable for each procedure.
V beam lasers are used to treat vascular lesions such as hemangiomas, vascular birthmarks, skin pigmentation that has a vascular component, warts, scars, and telangiectasia / rosacea. These conditions cross ethnic lines and thus the condition and native skin color is more important than the...
With respect to my Dermatological colleagues who have answered this already, we need a little science here. The V-beam laser is a type of pulsed dye laser (long pulse) designed to treat vascular lesions such as port wine stains or the skin vessels of rosacea. Pulsed dye lasers work by emitting...
The Vbeam is a pulsed dye laser that specifically targets the color red. IPL (Intense Pulse Light) is a light device that uses a spectrum of light (so it is not a true laser) that targets both red and brown. The VBeam is much more powerful at treating diffuse redness. It usually takes more than...
