Vbeam

VbeamDevice

A 595nm Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) by Candela (USA), the gold standard device for vascular laser treatment.

Overview

Vbeam is a 595nm PDL that is the standard device for vascular lesion treatment. It treats redness, telangiectasia, hemangioma, port-wine stain, and assists in keloid and scar treatment. The latest model, Vbeam Perfecta, features a micro-pulse mode that reduces purpura while maintaining efficacy.

Mechanism

The 595nm wavelength is optimally absorbed by oxyhemoglobin, enabling highly selective photothermolysis of blood vessels. The pulsed dye delivery coagulates targeted vessels while the DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device) protects the epidermis. The Perfecta model's micro-pulse technology divides each macro-pulse into a train of micro-pulses, allowing vessel heating while giving the epidermis time to cool between pulses, significantly reducing the purpura historically associated with PDL treatment.

Effects

Highly selective vascular lesion treatment, redness and flushing reduction, telangiectasia elimination, port-wine stain improvement, hemangioma treatment, scar and keloid improvement, and overall vascular-related skin condition management.

Duration

Vascular: 3-5 sessions at 3-4 week intervals; port-wine stain: multiple sessions over months to years; scar: 3-5 sessions at 4-6 week intervals

Recovery

Standard mode: purpura lasting 7-10 days. Micro-pulse mode: minimal to no purpura, redness for 1-2 days. Mild swelling possible. Makeup can cover residual redness. Sun protection essential.

Side Effects

Purpura (bruise-like discoloration, main side effect with standard mode), temporary swelling and redness. Rarely, blistering, hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation. Micro-pulse mode significantly reduces purpura risk.

Price Range

100,000-300,000 KRW per session

Target Audience

Those with vascular lesions, redness, rosacea, port-wine stain, hemangioma, and those wanting the gold standard PDL treatment for vascular conditions.
