VBeam Laser
Reduce facial redness and vascular treatments with VBeam Laser in Vancouver
The VBeam laser is a targeted vascular laser treatment designed to reduce visible redness, blood vessels, and vascular skin concerns. It is commonly used for facial redness, rosacea, and vascular birthmarks, offering controlled improvement without surgery for all skin types and ethnicities.
What is VBeam Laser Treatment?
Vbeam laser treatment is a nonsurgical solution that targets redness and vascular discoloration beneath the skin. Using pulse dye laser technology, VBeam selectively treats visible blood vessels while preserving surrounding skin. As a result, redness softens gradually, skin tone appears more even, and treated areas look calmer over time.

VBeam Laser FAQ
What is the VBeam laser used for?
The VBeam laser is primarily used to treat vascular and redness related skin concerns. It targets visible blood vessels beneath the skin to reduce redness, flushing, and vascular discoloration. Common uses include laser treatment for rosacea, facial veins, and vascular birthmarks. It is also used to improve red acne scars and post inflammatory redness.
Is VBeam laser effective for rosacea?
Yes, VBeam laser is widely used as a laser for rosacea because it targets the dilated blood vessels that contribute to persistent redness. Treatments help reduce flushing and visible capillaries over time. While rosacea is a chronic condition, VBeam laser can significantly improve appearance and comfort. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.
Can VBeam laser treat veins on the face?
VBeam laser is an effective laser for veins on the face, including spider veins on the face. The laser selectively targets blood vessels without damaging surrounding tissue. Over time, treated vessels fade and become less noticeable. Multiple sessions may be required depending on vessel size and depth.
Is VBeam laser used for acne or acne scars?
VBeam laser can support laser treatment for acne scars when redness is the primary concern. It is also used as a laser for acne related redness rather than active breakouts. By reducing inflammation and redness, skin appears calmer and more even. Other treatments may be combined for active acne management.
How many VBeam laser treatments are needed?
The number of treatments varies based on the condition being treated and its severity. Many patients require a series of sessions spanned several weeks apart. Gradual improvement is expected with each treatment. A personalized plan is created during consultation.
What does recovery look like after VBeam laser?
Recovery is typically mild, with temporary redness or swelling in treated areas. Some patients may experience light bruising, especially when treating facial veins. These effects usually resolve within a few days. Normal activities can typically be resumed shortly after treatment.
Can VBeam laser be combined with other treatments?
Yes, VBeam laser is often combined with other laser treatments for comprehensive redness and skin tone improvement. It may also be used during photodynamic therapy for selecting conditions. Combination treatments are planned carefully to maintain safety and effectiveness. This approach allows treatment of multiple concerns in a single plan.
Is VBeam laser safe for different skin types?
VBeam laser is generally safe for many skin types when performed by an experienced provider. Skin tone, sensitivity, and vascular patterns are evaluated before treatment. Settings are adjusted to minimize risk and optimize results. A consultation ensures appropriate candidacy.
Who is a good candidate for VBeam laser?
Good candidates include individuals with facial redness, rosacea, visible veins, or vascular birthmarks. Patients seeking nonsurgical options for redness reduction often choose VBeam laser. A professional evaluation helps determine if this treatment aligns with specific skin concerns and goals.
