VBeam

An intense but gentle burst of light that selectively destroys the blood vessels of your spider veins, without damaging the surrounding tissue.

After laser treatment the surrounding tissue is left intact and normal pigmentation occurs.

For vascular lesions, such as port wine stain birthmarks, stretch marks, scars, facial spider veins or warts, some patients have tried surgery, electrocautery, cryotherapy (freezing the area). These procedures often may result in scarring or may leave an unsatisfactory result.

Other lasers are not as specific in the destruction of the blood vessels in the vascular lesions. Our other vascular lasers, the Orion® and the Gemini®  still are excellent machines, but we are adding to the versatility of the clinic with the VBeam®.

As for treating birthmarks and certain vascular conditions, the VBeam®  system is easily the most sophisticated and most powerful of laser machines available.

Treatment with the VBeam® may consist of multiple treatments. For facial veins, one treatment may be sufficient for clearance but a second visit is recommended for optimal results. These treatments occur on an average of once every six to twelve weeks.

Conditions treated by the VBeam®:

• port wine stains
• stretchmarks
• scars
• spider veins (facial).
