Vbeam Red spots/ Rosacea
What is Vbeam and its treatments?
VBeam is a vascular laser that treats vessels. The VBeam uses a specific wavelength, 595nm, which produces a yellow color that is selectively absorbed by the blood vessels in the skin. The blood vessels are closed with the treatment which makes them go away.
VBeam can treat almost any blood vessel problem. It is stellar at treating the redness of rosacea and blood vessels along the cheeks of your face and the blood vessels around the nose. It is also great for treating the redness in scars helping them to diminish or go way. Significant bruising after surgery or from an accident can be heal and recover faster with VBeam.
