V-Beam Burns - Portland, OR
I was burned due to a V-Beam laser treatment...
I was burned due to a V-Beam laser treatment around my mouth and nose. The laser also "splashed" on my face in areas where I was not treated. A burn specialist used this term to describe how the laser traveled to other areas of my face. One example: I was treated for a broken cap on my nose and the laser traveled across my face almost to my ear. One year later, I'm still suffering from the physical and emotional trauma of this event. I will never get another laser treatment of ANY kind.

Wow, it must have been a high energy setting to cause lasting burns. Do you know what the setting was from your chart?
I had brusing and some temporary burns but it cleared up within a week and fixed a much bigger problem I had with painful flushing and acne.
I hope you have complete healing!!!
Hi Laser,
Oh my I can't believe they burnt you so bad you had to go to a specialist. What did you original doctor say, are they doing anything to compensate you? I'm so shocked! Did the burn specialist say there was anything you could do about your burns? Please keep us updated and I am so sorry this happened to you.
Thanks so much for the review,

Wow, that's a lot. At least you can look at it that way. I do hope you can find a way to fix this eventually. Please keep us updated if you do.
Thanks,
