VBeam Laser
If you are concerned about redness, rosacea, or visible veins, the Vbeam laser at our Roseville practice offers a noninvasive solution. At Placer Dermatology & Skin Care Center, we use this advanced laser to target vascular skin issues for clearer, healthier-looking skin. With minimal discomfort and downtime, Vbeam treatments are a convenient way to improve your complexion.
What Is a Vbeam Laser?
The Vbeam laser by Candela is a Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) designed to treat redness and unwanted blood vessels on the face, neck, and chest. It effectively reduces cherry angiomas (bright red spots) and red scars, though it is not typically effective for spider veins on the legs.
Vbeam works by emitting a focused beam of light that targets blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, helping to improve redness, scars, and vascular concerns with precision and minimal downtime.
What Can Vbeam Laser Treat?
Vbeam laser therapy is versatile and can treat:
- Facial redness
- Rosacea
- Vascular lesions
- Cherry angiomas
- Red scars
How Vbeam Laser Works
The Vbeam laser delivers a gentle burst of light that is absorbed by the blood vessels in the targeted area. This process causes the vessels to coagulate and eventually be reabsorbed by the body, reducing redness and visible veins. It is how it effectively performs its job as a redness reduction laser treatment at our Roseville practice.
How Do I Know If Vbeam Is Right for Me?
Vbeam laser treatment is suitable for patients who have received good results from other skin laser procedures. Patients with spider veins or skin redness are excellent candidates. Patients with other vascular skin conditions, such as scars, angiomas, warts, venous lakes, and red birthmarks are also candidates.
We prefer to evaluate each patient before scheduling the Vbeam laser treatment. Please contact our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Artur Henke.
What to Expect During Your Vbeam Treatment
Most patients describe the feeling of the treatment as similar to a rubber band snapping on their skin. A topical anesthetic may be applied to the area to minimize discomfort.
The Vbeam laser has a cooling system, which sprays the skin before each pulse to minimize pain. After the treatment, the skin can feel like a mild sunburn for some patients. It could last around four to eight hours after the treatment session.
How Long Does It Take?
Depending on the treatment area, laser treatments may last five minutes to 20 minutes. Treating multiple areas could extend the duration of the session, and the time will also increase if additional cosmetic treatments are involved.
How Do I Prepare for the Treatment?
To optimize results, avoid getting a tan or sunburn before getting your treatment. Sun protection is recommended before and after all laser treatments. Certain skincare products may not be allowed before and after the treatment.
What to Expect During Your Vbeam Laser Consultation
You can discuss any concerns and goals during the Vbeam consultation with Dr. Henke. He will carefully examine your skin and evaluate your medical records.
He will then recommend the most suitable treatment plan, whether you want laser treatment for acne scars, rosacea, vascular lesions, or other problems. Dr. Henke will discuss the treatment plan with you, including the preparation, treatment process, aftercare, cost, and results. He will address all your concerns before scheduling your treatment session.
What Should I Expect After Treatment?
After this laser treatment, some patients can develop bruising in the treated areas. Depending on how aggressively the patient wants the area treated, the bruising can last up to one to two weeks. We can provide more gentle treatments with minimal bruising, but more aggressive treatments may yield much better results.
Specific activities will not be allowed for at least two days after the Vbeam laser treatment. These activities include going to saunas, hot tubs, or anything that can apply excess heat to the skin. Specific instructions will be provided, including when to use certain skincare products again.
How Many Treatments Should I Undergo?
Depending on the area, one to three or more treatments may be needed. Angiomas typically respond with only one treatment. Vbeam laser treatment for redness on the face, neck and chest usually requires at least two to three sessions for optimal results.
The number of treatments required will also depend on the goals of the patient and the results achieved after each treatment session. The recommendation may be adjusted accordingly.
