V-Beam - Aesthetic Solutions

How does V-Beam work?

V-beam is a pulse dye laser. Pulse dye lasers work by delivering a focused burst of light at a specific wavelength. Different wavelengths can be used to target certain structures within the skin. The V-beam laser operates at wavelengths between 585-595nm, which targets the red color of oxygenated hemoglobin in blood vessels. When treated, blood within the skin absorbs the heat of the wavelength, and causes the vessel to collapse. Your body will then naturally eliminate the collapsed vessels over time. This allows the V-beam laser to selectively target the source of redness without causing other damage to the skin.

Before | After: Visia imaging shows underlying blood vessels and redness before and after one V-beam treatment.

Is V-Beam safe?

The FDA has cleared the V-beam laser to safely treat unwanted redness and red vessels. It has an excellent safety profile. Like any medical procedure, there are risks. As a teacher and trainer of other physicians in laser procedures, Dr. Cox stresses the importance of finding an experienced physician who understands the finer points of laser treatment.

V-Beam downtime

There is no real downtime associated with V-beam treatment. Pinkness or redness of the treated areas is typical immediately after treatment. Mild swelling may be present for a few days after treatment, but this quickly resolves completely.

V-Beam results

V-beam treatment is often focused on the face, but may be used on most areas of the body, including sensitive areas like the hands, neck and chest. It is possible to treat multiple areas of the skin in a single session, and V-beam laser can be performed the same day as most other procedures. V-beam reduces the appearance of acne scars, facial and spider vessels, rosacea, stretch marks, vascular lesions and warts. A series of treatments produce the best results.

I have been getting vbeam treatments here for almost a year for severe rosacea and it has been so helpful in reducing the redness and heat in my skin. The team here is very professional and friendly. I cannot recommend them enough!

Had a VBeam treatment for my rosacea today with Dr. Cox and Corynn Newman (the new PA for the practice). As always, great attention to detail and care was provided. It felt very safe with their new protocols. I had some questions after the procedure as I had a little bruising I had not experienced before and Corynn called me back and reassured me before I could even send photos. The whole staff is incredibly amazing. Thank you for helping me to feel better about my appearance.

I have had several treatments done at Aesthetic Solutions & have always had a wonderful experience. Dr. Cox is the best! I also get V-Beam done on the redness on my face by Corynn twice per year. She is super sweet & my skin always looks amazing afterwards.

I had a consult for a laser treatment and was able to have my first treatment at my appointment. All of the staff I encountered were very nice, professional and knowledgeable. I was seen on time and had a great experience.

Corynn spent a full hour taking photos of my face, listening to what my objectives were, and helping me decide which treatment modalities would best meet them. She explained the nature and cost of each procedure I was considering and told me how much down time, if any, there would be after each one. She was easy to talk to and very pleasant and understanding. My time with her was well spent!
