Vbeam Laser

Vbeam™ Pulsed-dye Laser Treatment -Laser Treatment of Vascular Lesions
The FDA approval in 1986 of the pulsed dye laser utilizing yellow light (577-585 nanometers) allowed us to treat cutaneous vascular lesions. The Vbeam laser is a 595 pulsed dye laser and the Vbeam's versatility enables you to address a wide range of vascular lesions, including: periorbital wrinkles, facial veins, rosacea, port wine stains, hemangiomas and red scars. This laser system has been utilized for safe and effective removal of port-wine stain birthmarks with a low incidence of scarring and permanent pigmentary change. Infants and young children became appropriate candidates for this treatment. The effectiveness of the pulsed dye laser treatment of port-wine stains has been established at approximately 75-percent clearing after approximately three treatment sessions. The rate of clearing and the achievement of complete clearing are based on the location of the port-wine stain with the central portion of the face and the distal extremities responding more slowly than other locations. The pulsed dye laser has also been demonstrated to be effective in treatment of a sun damaged condition that occurs on the neck and chest area that gives the appearance of persistent redness. This condition is called Poikiloderma of Civatte. It has also been used for patients with persistent red noses, thickened red scars. The use of this laser for cosmetic purposes has been limited by the postoperative bruising which lasts for five to ten days. Most conditions that this laser treats require multiple treatment sessions.
