The Science Behind Candela Vbeam Laser

Vbeam is a pulsed dye laser (PDL) that emits a targeted wavelength (595 nm) of light energy. This energy is selectively absorbed by oxyhemoglobin (the red protein in blood vessels), causing the vessel to heat up and collapse. The body then naturally reabsorbs these damaged vessels, leading to a reduction in redness and visible veins over time.

Unlike older laser treatments, Vbeam Perfecta features Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) technology, which sprays a cooling mist onto the skin before each laser pulse. This ensures maximum comfort during treatment, reduced risk of side effects and faster healing. This laser works without damaging surrounding skin, making it a safe, effective option for those with sensitive, redness-prone skin.

YOUR Journey to Enhanced Skin

Vbeam Perfecta is the gold standard in vascular laser treatments, offering precision and safety with minimal downtime. Using Selective Photothermolysis, it targets oxyhemoglobin in red blood cells, ensuring only unwanted blood vessels absorb the laser energy while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. Its Pulsed Dye Technology delivers energy in short bursts, preventing burns and minimising discomfort. As the body naturally absorbs the treated vessels, redness gradually fades over weeks to months, with most patients seeing significant improvement after just 1-2 sessions.

PREPARATION AND AFTERCARE

To prepare for your Vbeam Laser treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2-4 weeks, discontinue retinol and harsh skincare products 3-5 days before, and avoid blood-thinning medications to minimize bruising. Ensure your skin is free from active infections, cold sores, or open wounds. After treatment, apply SPF 50+ daily, use gentle skincare, and avoid hot showers, steam, and saunas for 24-48 hours. If needed, cold compresses can help reduce swelling. For best results, follow all aftercare instructions provided by our medical team.

FAQs

Yes! The Vbeam Laser is FDA-approved and safe for most skin types, particularly fair to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-III). While it is primarily designed to treat vascular conditions, it is gentle enough for sensitive skin. However, darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) may require a consultation to assess suitability and avoid risks of pigmentation changes.
Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or tingling feeling, similar to a rubber band flick on the skin. Thanks to the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), which sprays a cooling mist before each laser pulse, discomfort is minimized. If you have sensitive skin, we can apply a topical numbing cream before treatment for added comfort.
The treatment duration depends on the area being treated:
- Small areas (broken capillaries, cherry angiomas) – 10-15 minutes
- Full face (rosacea, redness, acne scarring) – 20-30 minutes
- Larger areas (neck, chest, or body veins) – 30-45 minutes
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition:
- Mild redness or capillaries – 1-2 sessions
- Rosacea & persistent redness – 3-5 sessions
- Post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) from acne – 1-3 sessions
- Spider veins or port-wine stains – Multiple sessions
Each session is typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Vbeam is a low-risk, non-invasive treatment, but some mild side effects can occur, including:
- Redness & swelling – Common and resolves within a few hours to a few days
- Purpura (temporary bruising) – May occur in some cases, lasting 3-7 days
- Mild skin sensitivity – Treated skin may feel slightly warm for a few hours
These effects are temporary and indicate that the laser is effectively targeting blood vessels.
Yes! If there is no purpura (bruising), you can wear makeup the next day. However, we recommend using a gentle, non-irritating mineral makeup and avoiding harsh exfoliants or active ingredients (retinol, AHAs, BHAs) for at least 3-5 days post-treatment.
Results vary depending on the condition treated. Many patients see immediate improvement, but full results appear gradually over 4-6 weeksas the body clears the treated blood vessels.
For rosacea and redness, multiple sessions provide cumulative benefits, reducing flare-ups and redness over time.
Yes! Vbeam reduces acne-related redness and inflammation, making it an excellent treatment for:
- Cystic acne (reduces swelling and redness)
- Post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) (fades lingering red marks)
- Accelerating the healing process after breakouts
For severe acne, we often combine Vbeam with other treatments, such as LED light therapy, medical-grade skincare, and peels.
Absolutely! While most Vbeam treatments are for facial redness, it is also effective for:
- Neck & chest redness (sun damage, broken capillaries)
- Leg veins & spider veins
- Red scars on the body
- Cherry angiomas (red spots)
Vbeam is a minimal downtime treatment. Most people experience mild redness or swelling that subsides within a few hours to 48 hours. If purpura (bruising) occurs, it fades within 3-7 days.
Most patients return to normal activities immediately, making Vbeam a perfect lunchtime treatment!
