Understanding How V-Beam Works

What's keeping you from looking your best? Spider veins? Stretch marks? Scars? Red birthmarks? All these conditions are treatable with the state-of-the-art V-Beam laser. V-Beam, one of the family of pulsed dye lasers, is fast and virtually painless. It can eliminate spider veins, telengectasias, red birthmarks, red acne scars, even serious port wine stains. And it's so gentle, it's safe even for a baby or child.

Pulsed Dye Lasers have a well-documented history of safely and effectively treating vascular lesions for over 15 years. They are designed to deliver an intense but gentle burst of laser light to the skin. This laser light is specifically absorbed by the blood vessels of the vascular lesion (a broken vessel or capillary).

These vessels are gently heated and coagulated. The body absorbs the treated blood vessels during the natural healing process. The laser has a unique ability to selectively target the blood vessels of a vascular lesion without adversely affecting the surrounding tissue. It is so safe and effective that it has been used successfully for the treatment of infants as young as a few weeks old. V-Beam protects the skin is during laser treatment by a dynamic cooling device which sprays a cool liquid onto the skin before each laser pulse, cooling the upper layers of the skin and providing patients with an increased comfort.
