V-Beam (Pulsed Dye) Laser

Medical conditions of the skin are best treated by a dermatologist to achieve superior, long-lasting results.

Pulsed Dye Laser is a laser used to treat vascular abnormalities, such as redness of acne and rosacea, angiomas (red growths), leg veins, scars/keloids, and brown pigmented lesions (lentigines). V-Beam works by dispensing intense but gentle burst of light that selectively destroys the blood vessels without damaging the surrounding skin and tissues.

Cosmetically sensitive areas, such as the face, neck, and V of the chest can be easily treated. Pain is usually minor, and your doctor will use a topical anesthetic prior to treatment to decrease your discomfort as much as possible. The laser system also uses a cooling mechanism that helps to minimize pain even further. More than one session is usually necessary to achieve optimal results. Most patients experience some redness, bruising, and/or swelling that fades rapidly. This is usually easily covered with makeup. Our doctors recommend SPF30-50 sunscreen immediately after the procedure. Please tell your doctor if you have a tendency to develop cold sores so that preventive medication can be prescribed.
