How does the Candela Vbeam Laser work?
The Candela Vbeam is used to reduce your vascular concerns and overall discolouration.
Vbeam pulsed dye laser with the Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) cooling system delivers an intense but gentle burst of light into selectively targeted areas of the skin. The light is absorbed by specific blood vessels or melanin pigmented areas in the skin depending on the condition being treated. Factors such as the age, colour and type of lesions, as well as the location on the body, all determine whether lesions can be removed.
The Vbeam laser can selectively treat abnormal dilated blood vessels in the skin without harming surrounding skin structures. The laser produces very short pulses of a special type of yellow light which is only absorbed by red blood cells in the abnormal vessels and over the following few weeks the vessels shrink so that they are no longer visible. Because the laser light is not absorbed by the skin itself, the laser is able to lighten the various blood vessel marks without producing any scarring to the skin.
The DCD™ quickly cools the skin surface just before the pulse of light enters the skin, to ensure that the skin surface is protected and to minimise any discomfort.
The Vbeam can treat the following.
- Broken facial veins (telangiectasia)
- Redness on the face and neck
- Rosacea
- Poikiloderma(sun-damaged neck skin)
- Angiomas
- Sunspots/Age spots
- Freckles
Results may vary due to skin type, depth of discolouration and multiple treatments may be required to achieve best results with safety in mind.
A thorough consultation will help determine whether Vbeam is the right treatment for you.
