Vascular skin conditions develop as we age and experience sun damage and other environmental skin stressors. Conditions such as Rosacea can cause severe flushing and redness and can be more difficult to experience emotionally and hide under makeup.
The Vbeam is a pulse dye laser that’s FDA-approved and the gold-standard treatment when it comes to treating redness in the skin. It’s non-invasive and involves minimal downtime, and the laser is able to selectively treat the targeted lesions without damaging any of the surrounding skin tissue.
The laser frequency is designed to where it can be absorbed by the targeted blood vessels but not the skin itself. When your vessels are heated, they coagulate and are slowly absorbed by your body through the natural healing process it triggers.
As a non-ablative laser, Vbeam doesn't harm your skin by cutting or burning. It’s relatively gentle, though there are small bursts of a heated sensation that you might feel during the treatment.
Vbeam is safe and effective to treat many parts of your body, including delicate areas. It can treat areas such as:
Vbeam can improve a wide variety of skin conditions such as:
During treatment, you'll be given protective glasses or eye shields to protect your eyes from the laser light. A small handpiece is placed against your skin which delivers short bursts of energy along with cooling treatment between each pulse of the laser. The entire process should last no more than 20 minutes.
Many patients describe the treatment as feeling like quick rubber band snaps. In most cases, we won’t need to apply a topical anesthetic. After treatment, you may feel like you have a mild sunburn for several hours. Some may experience swelling and minor bruising, but this treatment has no real downtime associated for most.
There are many factors that contribute to how your skin looks and feels. The number of treatments needed and the results are based on your unique skin condition. Typically we will recommend 3-5 treatments 4-6 weeks a part for optimized results.
In some cases, results may be permanent. But if your condition is reoccurring, such as rosacea, there may need to be additional treatment routines recommended. Most patients start to see the improvement immediately after treatment.
We will recommend protecting your skin from sun exposure with sunscreen and staying away from excessive heat for a period of time after treatment. It’s important that someone with extensive experience in laser treatments performs the Vbeam laser treatment. Dr. Potozkin and Dr. Ellis are laser experts and will be able to determine a personalized treatment plan that will best suit your needs during your initial consultation.
“Our practice philosophy is simple — to deliver the very best care we can in the very best way we can. To us, that means we make each and every patient feel welcomed from the moment that they walk in the door until they leave the office. It means that we listen to what the patient has to say and address those concerns. It means we give advice and recommend treatments based on our extensive training with leaders in the field, our wealth of personal experience, and our commitment to excellence. For our cosmetic patients, it means working with the patient to achieve results that look natural, not overdone or exaggerated. It means that we always strive to do the right thing for the patient, as we value very highly ethics, honesty, and integrity. It means we stand behind what we do and will do everything in our power to get the best results we can for the patient. It means we carefully select the highest quality staff to represent us and help us carry out these goals. Lastly and most importantly, it means that we treat the patient the way we would want ourselves to be treated, with respect and kindness. Because at the end of the day, without all of our loyal patients, we wouldn’t have a practice.”
