Vbeam
Vbeam, by Candela, is a 595 nm pulsed dye laser; ask about pulse settings and how bruising is handled.
How it works
Vbeam is a pulsed dye laser made by Candela that emits light at 595 nm. This wavelength is absorbed by hemoglobin, which lets the laser target small vessels while limiting damage to surrounding skin. A cooling spray helps protect the surface. It is used for redness, visible vessels, and some vascular marks. Results vary by person.
Good to know
- Ask whether settings will cause visible bruising or are gentler, and how many sessions that implies.
- Clarify what the doctor thinks is causing your redness.
- Mention blood thinners, tanning, and a history of cold sores or scarring.
- Redness, swelling, and bruising are expected with stronger settings; crusting and pigment change are uncommon.
Checking a Vbeam treatment before you book
Pulsed dye lasers can be set to leave temporary purplish marks or to be milder with less visible downtime. Knowing which approach is planned lets you schedule around work or travel.
Ask how the clinic differentiates rosacea, sun damage, and other causes of redness before treating. A diagnosis first, then a laser, is the sequence to look for.
