K-La 0 Share Posted November 8, 2004 When I emailed the office that I may consider going to for laser treatments, I asked if they had the V-Beam laser. They replied with..."We use vascular lasers to remove the redness of scars." I feel dumb for asking this but what exactly do they mean by that and did they even answer my question?

K-La 0 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 hehe..yeah I figured. I was just wondering if maybe they were indicating a type of laser. So basically they didn't answer my question and probably don't have V-Beam. Oh well. Hopefully it won't matter too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
~craig~ 0 Share Posted November 8, 2004 It sounds like they don't have the specific laser (V-beam) but have another vascular laser they'd love to try on your for lotsa cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K-La 0 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Yeah I know they have stupid pricing for something that isn't guaranteed to do an amazing job or anything. But I have to try something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wantperfectskin 0 Share Posted November 8, 2004 If you specifically want the v-beam laser and they don't have it, I suggest you go somewhere else. They will give you a song a dance about any lasers they have in order to make a sale. I went to a doctor who tried to get me to try one of his lasers. It was the only one he had, so of course he hyped it up. If you are unsure, I would call again and get a specific answer. Tell them you don't want to waste your time with a consultation if they do have the laser you are looking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoveGreenSmoothies 32 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Make sure they own the machine they want to use on you. Also, make sure they have more than one laser machine in the office.I suggest you find another practitioner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LoveGreenSmoothies 32 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Smoothneam won't get rid of redness. Only specific lasers tackle that problem. PDL and photofacial target redness. There are probably a few more that I don't know, but I don't *think* SB is one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GoldRex 1 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Smoothbeam isn't one of them, yeah... Candela basically admits that by marketing the V-beam separately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
