What is the VBeam Perfecta?
VBeam Perfecta by Candela is a next-generation pulsed-dye laser (PDL) designed to treat vascular and pigmented skin conditions. It delivers controlled pulses of light energy absorbed by hemoglobin in red blood cells, collapsing unwanted vessels while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. This process reduces redness, visible facial veins, and inflammation while stimulating collagen, elastic fiber, and hyaluronic acid production for smoother, more even skin.
Advanced Vascular Targeting
Precisely treats red blood vessels, spider veins, and vascular lesions, leading to clearer, more balanced skin.
Gentle Yet Powerful Results
The laser’s dynamic cooling system protects the skin’s surface, making treatment comfortable and safe for most skin types.
Comprehensive Redness Reduction
Vbeam is often used as part of our Take5 and Take10 signature treatments to effectively minimizes redness from rosacea, broken capillaries, and facial flushing as well as remove individual red lesions.
Collagen Stimulation and Smoothing
Encourages natural collagen, elastic fiber, and hyaluronic acid production, reducing wrinkles and improving skin tone over time.
Quick, Minimal-Downtime Procedure
Most sessions take under 30 minutes, with little to no recovery needed—perfect for busy schedules.
Clinically Proven Technology
FDA-cleared and backed by decades of research, the VBeam Perfecta remains one of the most trusted vascular lasers worldwide. We have been using this technology since it was first introduced in 1986 and so have extensive experience with all pulse dye laser systems.

Maintain Lasting Clarity and Confidence
For continued improvement, your dermatologist may recommend periodic treatments or combination therapies such as Take5 or ResurFX to optimize skin health and glow.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Combine VBeam Perfecta with IPL to address both vascular and pigmented concerns simultaneously. While VBeam targets redness and visible vessels, IPL eliminates brown spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone for complete photorejuvenation.
Fraxel Dual
Pair VBeam Perfecta with Fraxel Dual to address multiple layers of skin damage. Fraxel improves texture, pigmentation, and fine lines through collagen and elastic fiber stimulation, while VBeam eliminates redness and visible vessels for complete facial rejuvenation.
Alexandrite TriVantage
VBeam Perfecta and Alexandrite lasers work synergistically to treat both vascular and pigmented lesions. This powerful combination eliminates age spots, sun damage, and broken capillaries in a comprehensive treatment approach.
UltraClear
UltraClear can address multiple skin concerns across all skin types, including Asian and darker skin tones. Pairing these two treatments can help treat vascular concerns alongside texture irregularities and pigmentation for comprehensive results.
ResurFX
Pair VBeam Perfecta with ResurFX for comprehensive skin renewal. ResurFX stimulates collagen, elastic fiber, and hyaluronic acid production while improving texture, and VBeam addresses redness and visible vessels—creating smoother, clearer, and more refined skin.
Clear+Brilliant
Add Clear+Brilliant to your VBeam treatment for enhanced radiance and maintenance.
This gentle fractional laser improves overall skin quality, reduces pore size, and enhances the clarity achieved by VBeam treatments.
VBeam Perfecta FAQs
VBeam Perfecta targets visible spider veins, dilated capillaries of the face, neck, chest, and legs, diffuse redness due to rosacea and other skin conditions, acne and acne scars, birthmarks, cherry angiomas, telangiectasia, port wine stains, some scars and stretch marks, and some types of hyperpigmentation.
VBeam Perfecta is a pulsed dye laser that emits a beam of light absorbed by hemoglobin within red blood cells in vessels near the skin surface. As this molecule collects the laser energy, the red blood cells heat up, destroying undesirable capillaries and reducing diffuse redness without damaging surrounding skin and tissue. Treated veins are reabsorbed by the body, leaving clearer skin behind.
VBeam Perfecta is FDA-cleared and extremely safe. Its innovative cooling systems help improve comfort and protect your skin during treatment. VBeam Perfecta is ideal for men and women experiencing vascular skin conditions such as rosacea, broken capillaries, redness, birthmarks, or spider veins on the face. Your board-certified dermatologist will evaluate your specific skin type and concerns during consultation.
Results typically appear within two weeks and will continue to improve over the next few months. After your treatment, you can expect less redness and flushing and the reduction of broken capillaries and veins. Many patients also experience smooth and glowing skin, which conveys a rested, youthful appearance. Individual results may vary.
Additional treatments may be recommended for best possible results. The number of sessions needed depends on the severity of your vascular condition and your specific treatment goals. Your dermatologist will create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.
The treatment takes 15 minutes or less, depending on the areas treated and number of pulses used. You’ll experience a brief sensation of heat/sunburn immediately following treatment and possible redness and mild swelling for 1-2 days afterward. Bruising may also occur but typically resolves within 3-10 days. Applying ice packs immediately following the process will help quickly alleviate discomfort and minimize post-treatment swelling.
Yes. Our board-certified dermatologists frequently combine VBeam Perfecta with IPL, Fraxel Dual, Alexandrite TriVantage, UltraClear, ResurFX, and Clear+Brilliant to enhance results and support comprehensive skin rejuvenation. VBeam Perfecta is also a key component of our proprietary Take5 treatment protocol. Additionally, VBeam can be combined with neuromodulators like Botox Cosmetic and Dysport, biostimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse.
Some patients report feeling a slight sting or sensation of heat during the process, often described as a rubber band “snapping” against the skin. However, VBeam Perfecta uses innovative cooling systems to help improve your comfort and protect your skin throughout the procedure.
