Vbeam Perfecta

Vbeam Perfecta Overview

What to Expect

During a Vbeam treatment, the laser light is absorbed by hemoglobin within red cells in vessels. As this molecule collects the laser energy, the red cells heat up and the undesirable capillaries are eliminated.

Read our pre/post-treatment guidelines for VBeam Perfecta.

A cooling spray is felt microseconds before the laser fires, making anesthetics unnecessary. Many patients may feel a slight sting during the procedure. Ice packs may be used immediately after to quickly alleviate any discomfort.

After your treatment, you can expect less redness and flushing and the reduction of broken capillaries and veins. Many patients also experience skin that is smooth and glowing, which conveys a rested, youthful appearance.

Professional skincare can help you extend your positive results by maintaining the health of your skin with daily use. We offer a range of top-recommended products and the expertise to help you design a personalized program that will meet your needs best.

Treatment Guidelines

During your procedure:

• Your eyes will be protected.
• Cold air may be applied directly to the skin’s surface as it is being treated to help decrease
  the sensation of heat.
• You will feel the sensation of heat (similar to grease “splattering” or rubber band
  “snapping” against your skin).
• Each area will be targeted by the laser until the entire treatment area has been completely
  covered.

After your procedure:

• You will feel a sensation of heat/sunburn that will subside within a few minutes. It is ok
  to take Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
• Redness and mild swelling may occur for a day or two.
• It is possible that you develop bruising (may be present immediately after procedure or
  within 1-2 days after the procedure).
• If bruising occurs, it may take 3-10 days to resolve. Some bruising can last 2-3 weeks.
• Apply sunscreen with Zinc Oxide &/or Titanium Dioxide daily. Protect the treated area
  from the sun both indoors and outdoors (use a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen). Please
  be aware UVA rays can penetrate through the windows.
• You may use ice packs (20 min. on and 20 min. off) the day of the procedure. It will
  help to reduce the sensation of heat and will help minimize swelling.
• Swelling typically peaks at 12-48 hours. If your treatment is being performed on your
  face, sleeping with your head slightly elevated at night for the first 2-3 nights will help
  minimize swelling.
• Swelling can vary from patient to patient, size, and location of the area being treated.
  Some patients will not experience swelling and some may experience marked swelling.
• NO RUBBING, PICKING OR WIPING TREATMENT AREA.
• It is okay to shower the day of the procedure.
• Gentle cleansing with the fingertips is fine.
• Crusting/scabbing may occur (allow to come off naturally, do not try to remove).
• If crusting/scabbing occurs, apply antibiotic ointment until resolves (typically 5-10
  days).
• You can wear make-up (unless instructed not to by your physician) as long as you are
  not rubbing, picking, or wiping off the surface of the skin when applying or removing make-up.
