I have used the vbeam laser on stretch marks on the breast and hips in women as well as for men who develop stretch marks on the arms and shoulders when they are intense weightlifters. It works best if the stretch marks are pink and if you also add retin A topically for home treatment to improve the appearance of the collagen. It feels like a cold spray and a rubber band hitting your skin but is not very painful on the trunk and breasts. It can also be used to treat scars after breast augmentation as well as scars after breast cancer surgery and reconstruction. This takes multiple treatments but can be very rewarding. I sometimes alternate treatments with the Fraxel 1550 and the vbeam to treat scars.
I love using the Vbeam laser to compliment other treatments for Rosacea. Its great for the fine telangiectasias on the cheeks and around the nose whether they are from flushing and rosacea or from chronic allergies and sun-damage. I usually do two to three treatments depending on the severity of the redness but also make sure that we address the gentleness, paraben free and soap free, components of your skin care regimen and discuss triggers for rosacea. There is a little redness right afterwards but no down time essentially. You can go about your normal day and evening. You might wakeup the next morning with a little puffiness under the eyes if the cheeks were treated but that resolves pretty quickly after getting up and going. Although you can get bruising, the settings I use are adjusted to treat with non-purpuric, non bruising settings. Many patients have a maintenance treatment once or twice a year to treat new blood vessels that are forming.
I agree that the best non-surgical treatment is to use fillers like restylane, perlane or juvederm to support the corners of the mouth and below the corners if there is volume loss. If you are a person who grimaces or grinds their teeth while you sleep, you may have a more active muscle pulling down the corners of your mouth that can be treated by injecting a very small amount of botox or dysport to relax the muscle and soften your lower face. Its important to look carefully at each person's natural expressions and to personalize your treatment suggestions. I am sure others agree that we have to look closely at your expressions and anatomy before providing the best options for your care. I hope this helps!
