Pulsed Dye Laser

Our Vbeam Perfecta or Vbeam Prima treatments use a Pulsed Dye Laser, also known as vascular lasers, to gently but effectively treat rosacea and other conditions like spider veins, broken capillaries, warts, stretch marks, and birthmarks. It’s one of the best lasers for rosacea treatment, relieving red, discolored skin. It is so mild that it can even be used on babies; this treatment targets superficial blood vessels, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. The body then reabsorbs the damaged vessel, redirecting blood flow to a deeper, less visible one.

Our Pulsed Dye Laser services are available at The Institute of Plastic Surgery in Altamonte Springs, Winter Park East, Ormond Beach, and at our New Smyrna Beach locations.

Who is it for?

Vbeam Perfecta and Vbeam Prima is for almost any patient who wants to lessen red discoloration somewhere on their body. It’s even considered safe for lessening facial birthmarks on babies and for general use on patients with dark skin. It’s not recommended for pregnant patients, due to a lack of clinical studies examining the effects on a fetus.

What is treatment like?

There will be a slight “snapping” as the laser enters the skin, but discomfort (and the likelihood of burning) are greatly reduced by the rapid blast of a cooling agent, sprayed prior to each laser firing. You may have slight redness or swelling, but you will be able to return to normal activities and resume wearing makeup immediately after treatment. Be sure to protect your skin with a strong sunscreen, or better yet, avoid the sun throughout your treatment.

What are the results?

The results are a dramatic lightening of red stains on your skin, usually in three sessions or more. Some results may be visible immediately, but the skin can take up to a month to heal enough to show full results. Results may be permanent, depending on the condition being treated. Often, spider veins and broken capillaries clear entirely, but conditions such as rosacea and port wine birthmarks may recur and require future treatment. Our clinics in Daytona Beach, Clermont, Orlando, and Altamonte Springs offer ongoing support to help you maintain your results.
