At The Dermatology Center, we believe the right treatment addresses the visible condition safely, effectively, and with your long-term skin health in mind. When it comes to vascular concerns like spider veins, rosacea, red scars, or birthmarks, one technology stands out: the VBeam Vascular Laser.
Our board-certified dermatologists and highly trained laser specialists rely on VBeam because it delivers consistent, exceptional results. This is why we call it the “gold standard” for treating vein and vascular skin issues. From understanding the root cause of your concern to designing a personalized treatment plan, our expertise ensures you’re not just getting a laser—you’re getting the right laser, in the right hands.
What Makes VBeam So Exceptional?
VBeam's unique features set it apart and deliver superior results for vascular conditions.
1. Targeted, Efficient Treatment of Blood Vessels
VBeam is a pulsed-dye laser that specifically targets the hemoglobin (the red protein in blood) within visible blood vessels. Because it hones in on this red pigment, it is able to address the underlying vascular structure without causing unnecessary damage to the surrounding skin.
In simpler terms: if you are concerned by redness, broken capillaries, visible veins, or vascular-related pigmentation, VBeam can directly act on the “plumbing” rather than just masking the surface problem.
2. Safe, Comfortable, and Minimal Downtime
Because VBeam is so precisely targeted, the treatment is very well tolerated. We apply cooling and tailor the settings to your specific skin type and condition, ensuring maximum comfort.
Recovery is typically mild. Some redness, swelling, or bruising may appear, but these generally fade within days. The treatment is safe for a broad range of skin types (though best results are often seen on lighter skin tones due to laser wavelength interactions with melanin).
3. Versatile Applications
We use VBeam to treat a wide array of vascular-based conditions, including:
- Rosacea and facial flushing — sealing off small visible veins to reduce persistent redness.
- Facial spider veins around the cheeks and nose.
- Red or pink-toned scars (acne, surgical, or injury) — reducing the redness and speeding healing.
- Red birthmarks (such as port-wine stains or hemangiomas) and angiomas (“drops of red” on the skin).
- Venous lakes (small, blue-dark vascular bubbles on the lip, face, or ear).
The VBeam Treatment Process at The Dermatology Center
Here is what you can expect when you choose VBeam with our expert team:
- Consultation & Assessment We begin by assessing your skin history, concerns, and goals. Our specialists will evaluate your vascular concern, skin type, and confirm that VBeam is the best choice for you.
- Customized Treatment Plan Based on your evaluation, we determine the optimal number of sessions, laser settings, and pre- and post-treatment guidelines. While visible improvement can often be seen after 1–3 sessions, your plan is entirely unique.
- Comfortable Treatment Day On the day of treatment, we apply a cooling spray and use the VBeam to deliver a gentle burst of yellow light to the targeted vessels. The sensation is often described as a snapping sound or a light rubber-band flick, and most patients tolerate it very well.
- Post-Treatment Care & Follow-up We provide clear instructions for minimal downtime: avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours, elevate your head if needed, and diligently protect your skin with sunscreen. We monitor your progress to ensure lasting improvement, not just a quick fix.
