terminator2 1 Share Posted February 21, 2004 hi, just wondering if anyone knows if and where vbeam is available in the uk. I have read it is effective for redness from acne scars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blarm44 0 Share Posted February 21, 2004 The vbeam is available at Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, University Hospital NHS Trust Derby Road, Nottingham, NG7 2UH you can find out where other vbeams are by contacting candela http://www.candelalaser.com/contact.asp and they should tell you where all the vbeams are in the U.K. For red marks you might want to look at photoderm as a procedure.check this out. http://www.rosacea.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lola 0 Share Posted February 21, 2004 There is a website called something like skinlaserdirectory.org or something similar. It listed hospitals/doctors with different lasers although I suspect the list wasn't comprehensive. You could find hospitals/drs near you from this list, and phone them to ask if they have v-beam. Dr Nicholas Lowe, Cranley Clinic in London recommended this for my redness after CO2. He quoted £1800 for the cheeks plus £350 to do a test patch. Apparently, your skin can look really bruised after treatment for up to 2 weeks. Instead, I went to the Private Clinic in Harley Street and had a course of 6 or 7 intense pulsed light treatments (I think it cost around 1,500 to 1,800 in the end). There was hardly any downtime with this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lola 0 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Sorry, I can't remember what number on Harley St., maybe no. 95 but do a search on google because they have a website. I didn't have many red marks at the time because I had CO2 but I think it does help. Goo luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
