V-Beam Settings and Doctor

[Guest guest]

I have been thinking about getting V-Beam done now for a little while.

Unlike photoderm settings where you can change the wavelength, the

V-Beam only uses 595nm wavelength. Is the only other setting intensity

? If so, it seems the practioner would have less chance to have a poor

result as with photoderm due to less variables. If this is so, I may

feel more comfortable with a Dr. who may not have a ton of experience

using the V-Beam. Are these the general thoughts for others ?

Part 2, does anyone know of a Dr. in the Dallas area, say within 100

miles ? I saw only one in Candela's website in , TX but I wonder

about his skills...will try to find out more on that. However, if the

skill level is not needed to as much as photoderm it may not matter ?

Thanks.

How do you determine a doctor's skill level? What questions should be asked?

Those of you that have had photoderm or vbeam are there any questions you

wished you would have asked before beginning treatment?

If there is a list of answers to these questions posted somewhere please

direct me and excuse the questions.

Thanks,

Patty

Hi Patty,

Just a few suggestions:

Find out how much experience they have with treating specifically rosacea

and flushing. Also if you will be treated by the doctor himself, or by a

nurse/assistant.

Ask to see before and after patient photos

Ask about expected post-treatment downtime and any pre and post treatment

instructions or recommendations to follow

Ask about approximate number of treatments expected

Ask about the improvement you can realistically expect

Good luck!
