Among the many treatments available to help with your skin issues are laser treatments. You can opt for the VBeam Laser Treatment at our practice that helps to painlessly and effectively clear skin issues. It is the best pulsed–dye laser in the world, is safe for your skin, and is easy to use for the treatment of pigmented and some non-pigmented lesions, as well as vascular lesions.

Procedure

The laser energy used in Vbeam is delivered in pulses, and a dye is used to generate laser beams of different colors. Since it is used to treat dilated blood vessels, it is also known as the vascular laser. The color of light used for the treatment is determined by the target.

An intense-but-gentle burst of light is targeted into the required area on the skin where it is absorbed by the specific blood vessels or pigmented areas. The body absorbs the damaged blood vessels and the blood flow is redirected into deeper vessels. The VBeam also sparks new tissue generation that reduces the appearance of stretch marks and gives you smoother skin texture.

Results

You may notice some swelling the morning after your treatment, especially under the eyes. This swelling may last for 2 to 3 days and you can apply a cold compress to the area for 10 minutes every hour. Some people may also see slight redness in the area which usually goes away within a couple of hours.

You may need a few sessions to completely treat your condition, and these are usually spaced at 4 weeks each. The length of your treatment and the laser exposure differs depending on your specific needs. You will see your results right away after the treatment, and this will include less discoloration as well as tightening and firming of the area. In most cases, the results are permanent although, for certain conditions, the results may result only a few years.
