v-beam

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

When having v-beam treatment is it necessary to be flushed at the

time.?

I ask because I am at my worst after a shower so will not look so bad

when I go for treatment.

Are the vessels still zapped even though they are not engorged with

blood?

If it is necessary what do you suggest? I understand Niacin cam bring

on a flush. What dosage should be taken and how long before treatment?

Thanks

Hello Rick

Thanks for your message about your v-beam treatment. It's good to hear from

someone else having treatment at the moment. My face was very swollen for a

few days, but has gone down now (5 days after treatment). I'm just left

with the bruising from the laser, but even that is fading a little each day.

In fact, my face has reacted better to having both cheeks done this time

than it did to just having a test patch done 4 months ago. I am hopeful

this may improve things at last.

Best of luck with your treatment on Monday and I look forward to hearing how

you get on.

Regards,

Gill

My doctor had me going every 4 weeks. He said he prefered 2,

but no more than 4. When I was looking for a doctor to do the

treatments, one said they would do it every 6 weeks, and

anything before that was a waste of money. The next doctor said

every two weeks. And then the next I saw is the one I'm seeing

now, and he also said every two weeks. One thing I noticed is

that the two doctors who had the most experience with lasers,

wanted the two weeks, because they said they wanted to zap the

vessels before they had time to recup. The first doctor I saw also

said that the skin continue to benefit from the treatment 3

months post treatment. The one I'm seeing now does not say

that. I don't know if this helps. I guess I'm just trying to point out

everybody seems to say something different.
