How does it work?

The Vbeam Perfecta system uses Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) technology to deliver a powerful but gentle burst of light into targeted areas of the skin. It is then absorbed by the blood vessels or melanin pigmented areas, removing the targeted imperfections. This treatment is clinically proven to be effective for multiple skin types and most patients notice the results right away.

The Results?

Patients suffering from Rosacea trust this is the only treatment for them. In a study done by Dr Jeffery S. Dover, he reported an 80% improvement rate was discovered. 3 Making it easier to live with rosacea.

The Pulse Dye Laser technology offered by VBeam is a globally renowned vascular treatment for hemangioma. Dr. Rox Anderson has created this vascular laser in a research center located at Harvard University with the intention of treating benign venous tumors, which have previously been difficult to treat.

The VBeam laser also treats other vascular lesions, such as rubis angiomas (cherry angioma) and spider angioma, which shows up on the skin as small red dots or spider legs.

FAQs

Are the treatments painful

Most patients report a sensation similar to mild sunburn after the treatment. During the treatment, skin will receive additional protection through the Dynamic Cooling Device cooling system (DCDTM), which delivers a cooling burst of cryogen before the laser pulse. The DCD cooling increases comfort during treatment and minimizes side effects such as redness.

Are there any side effects? 

PDL treatments have been used since the 1980s for the treatment of port wine stains in infants and young children. The DCD cooling goes a long way toward ensuring both the patient’s comfort and the protection of the treated skin. Some patients experience redness immediately after treatment, which usually goes away in a few hours. Occasionally a laser bruise called purpura may occur; this usually disappears in three to five days.
