Vbeam® Laser
How Vbeam® Works
Vbeam® Laser treatment, utilizes advanced pulsed dye technology to precisely target and treat skin imperfections. The Vbeam® delivers concentrated bursts of light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by blood vessels or melanin, leading to the selective breakdown of unwanted vascular and pigmented lesions. This state-of-the-art process facilitates the body’s natural removal of these lesions through the lymphatic system, effectively collapsing and eliminating spider veins and other targeted concerns without damage to surrounding tissues. Recognized globally as the gold standard in treating vascular lesions, our Vbeam pulsed dye laser system stands out for its proven efficacy across a wide range of skin types and conditions, offering immediate, noticeable results with minimal side effects. At VIDA, we’re equipped with the 595 nm PDL technology, ensuring a gentle yet intense treatment experience that ignites the body’s healing mechanisms, paving the way for a clearer, more radiant complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treatments that Complement Vbeam
VIDA offers an array of treatments that complement Vbeam Laser. Renowned for its precision in treating vascular skin concerns like rosacea, spider veins, and redness, offers significant improvements in skin texture and appearance. To enhance and sustain the results from Vbeam treatments, integrating additional skincare procedures can provide a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
Chemical Peels: A tailored chemical peel can serve as an excellent adjunct to Vbeam Laser treatments. By exfoliating the uppermost layer of the skin, chemical peels unveil fresher, more radiant skin underneath, similar to the effects of light therapy. This process not only diminishes signs of sun damage and aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, but also improves skin texture and firmness. When combined with Vbeam, the synergistic effect can lead to enhanced results, further improved with the incorporation of a consistent skincare regimen.
Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is another non-invasive treatment that complements the Vbeam Laser by promoting the maintenance of its benefits over time. This procedure gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting a healthier, more vibrant skin surface. It’s particularly effective for sustaining the improved skin texture and tone achieved with Vbeam, ensuring long-lasting results.
Dermaplaning: For those looking to address the issue of fine facial hair (“peach fuzz”) that can trap dirt, oil, and makeup, dermaplaning is a perfect complement to Vbeam Laser treatments. This method not only removes unwanted hair but also exfoliates the skin, allowing for deeper penetration of topical treatments. The smooth surface left by dermaplaning enhances the skin’s appearance and can make the benefits of Vbeam treatments even more noticeable.
Microneedling: To further boost the benefits of Vbeam Laser, microneedling is a highly recommended procedure. It encourages the body’s natural collagen production by creating micro-injuries in the skin. This process helps in the repair and rejuvenation of the skin, improving its texture, tone, and overall appearance. Regular microneedling sessions can amplify the results achieved with Vbeam, offering sustained improvements and a youthful complexion.
Incorporating these treatments alongside Vbeam Laser therapy allows for a holistic approach to skincare, targeting a wide range of concerns and maximizing the overall health and beauty of the skin. Each treatment has its unique benefits that, when combined, offer a comprehensive skincare solution for lasting results.
What to Expect During Your Vbeam Treatment
During your Vbeam laser therapy session, the procedure starts with cleansing the target area to ensure it’s free from any makeup, oils, or dirt. Depending on your specific treatment plan and sensitivity, a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort during the procedure. Protective eyewear is provided to both you and the practitioner to shield your eyes from the laser light.
As the Vbeam laser is activated, you might feel a series of brief, warm pulses against your skin. Many describe this sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band. The Vbeam device often includes a dynamic cooling device (DCD) that sprays a cooling mist onto the skin milliseconds before each laser pulse, significantly reducing discomfort and protecting the skin’s surface.
The Vbeam laser is effective for treating various skin issues, including but not limited to, rosacea, acne scars, vascular lesions, and spider veins. It’s designed to specifically target blood vessels under the skin, leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
Post-treatment, you may notice redness and some swelling in the treated area, akin to a mild sunburn. These symptoms are typically short-lived, subsiding within a few hours to a few days. In cases where vascular lesions or pigmented areas were targeted, they might darken before gradually fading over the following weeks. Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements in their skin’s condition within 2–3 weeks after their treatment, with optimal results appearing after multiple sessions, as recommended by their dermatologist.
It’s crucial to follow any aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner, including applying sunscreen and avoiding certain activities or products as your skin heals. To determine if Vbeam laser therapy is suitable for you and to discuss your skin concerns and goals, scheduling a consultation with a qualified dermatologist or skincare specialist is advisable. They can provide personalized advice and a treatment plan to achieve the best possible outcomes.
