Patients who have cosmetic surgery could benefit from Candela Vbeam laser treatments to lessen the effects of bruising after the operation.

Most cosmetic surgery causes some form of bruising. In the case of larger plastic surgery operations, there can be significant bruising that can last a number of weeks. Two separate studies have now shown that the Candela Vbeam in tandem with cosmetic surgery procedures can significantly help the healing process, leading to less bruising and a faster healing of bruises.

The Vbeam uses micro-pulse technology with a patented dynamic cooling device to help prevent bruises forming. Research has recently shown that by using the technology on cosmetic surgery patients, the outcome of their surgery directly after the operation is significantly improved and patients who have had the treatment are more likely to be satisfied with the results of their cosmetic surgery.

More information on the results of the research can be found in the latest edition of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery.
