VBeam Laser
VBeam is a pulsed dye laser that targets blood vessels and pigmented tissue in the skin, making it one of the most effective treatments available for rosacea, facial veins, scars, and a range of vascular skin concerns.
What Is A VBeam Laser?
VBeam Laser is a pulsed dye laser that delivers concentrated light energy at a wavelength specifically absorbed by haemoglobin in the blood. When the laser energy reaches the targeted vessel, it converts to heat, causing the vessel to collapse and be gradually cleared by the body. Surrounding skin tissue is left unaffected.
With over 20 years of clinical use, VBeam has an established track record across a wide range of vascular and pigmented conditions. Its Dynamic Cooling Device delivers a burst of cryogen to the skin's surface immediately before each pulse, keeping the treatment comfortable while protecting the outer layers of skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not really as most patients find it very manageable. The laser is equipped with a Dynamic Cooling Device that delivers a cooling burst to the skin before each pulse, significantly reducing discomfort. The sensation is typically described as a brief snap or mild sting followed immediately by cooling.
For vascular concerns such as broken capillaries and facial veins, results are long-lasting as the treated vessels do not return. For rosacea, which is an ongoing condition, periodic maintenance sessions help manage new vascular activity over time.
We strongly recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and using broad-spectrum sunscreen consistently between sessions.
The most common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, and bruising in the treated area, all of which resolve within a few days.
