What is Vascular Laser Therapy?
We use the Candela VBeam laser that is a pulsed dye laser for the treatment of vascular lesions. The laser delivers an intense, gentle burst of yellow light to the skin that is absorbed by the blood vessels in the dermis. These blood vessels are coagulated and then reabsorbed by the body during the natural healing process.

When is Vascular Laser Therapy used?
The VBeam laser was designed to rid patients of benign vascular lesions such as facial veins, rosacea, angiomas, red birth marks, hemangiomas and other red-colored lesions.

What to Expect.
Laser therapy includes wearing safety eyewear while a small handpiece is applied to the treatment area by the physician. The VBeam laser protects the epidermis during treatment by spraying a cooling mist onto the skin before each laser pulse. Some patients may feel a slight discomfort associated with the laser pulse; however, most patients tolerate the procedure well.

How often are treatments necessary?
The number of treatments necessary varies depending on the type of lesion and size of the area being treated.
