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.
The loss of "color" to the skin, in your case, is most likely from reducing the number of microcapilaries with the laser. Loss of pigmentation following laser treatment can also be caused by depletion of the melanin production cells in your skin. Hypopigmentation may take months to...
The VBeam Perfecta is the latest model of the Gold Standard VBeam Pulsed Dye Laser. Pulsed Dye Lasers are generally used to treat anything vascular-- ie, blood vessels. The VBeam Perfecta can also be used for pigmented lesions. Additionally, other components of the skin, like collagen, can be...
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 sun thins the skin and creates more broken blood vessels. While you can go into the sun after a period of time from your V-Beam, why would you want to with only an SPF 15 moisturizer? You should protect your skin with atleast an SPF 30 and stay out of the sun mid day. Remember that a tan i...
Unless you are tanning (exposed to UV rays before and after the treatment) this should be a safe treatment for you. Pulsed dye laser treatment is so safe that it has been used successfully for the treatment of port wine stains in infants and young children. The Vbeam skin laser can also be used...
We employ several methods for diffuse redness, including the use of IPL, V BEAM, 755 Alex and also 1064 long pulse Nd Yag paint mode. My fav? V Beam. The settings I use for diffuse redness are pretty harsh though, so expect some swelling after the laser treatment. 10-20% of patients do not...
