Vbeam for Rosacea: A Comprehensive Review
What is Vbeam laser?
Vbeam is a pulsed dye laser (PDL) that is used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including rosacea. It works by delivering rapid bursts of light energy to the treatment area, usually the face in order to improve skin quality. This energy targets the hemoglobin in blood vessels, causing them to shrink and disappear. Vbeam laser at Kare Plastic Surgery in Santa Monica is ideal for rosacea and facial blushing. We are the top medical spa and cosmetic dermatology center in Santa Monica and can help you achieve your desired goals for skincare.
How is Vbeam used to treat rosacea?
Our expert team of clinicians are knowledgeable about Vbeam pulsed dye laser. We use the Vbeam together with IPL/BBL to help treat skin conditions. Vbeam can be used to treat all four subtypes of rosacea:
- Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: This subtype is characterized by redness and flushing of the face. Vbeam can help to reduce redness and improve the appearance of facial blood vessels.
- Papulopustular rosacea: This subtype is characterized by red bumps and pimples on the face. Vbeam can help to reduce inflammation and improve the appearance of the skin.
- Phymatous rosacea: This subtype is characterized by thickening of the skin, especially on the nose. Vbeam can help to reduce the thickness of the skin and improve the appearance of the nose.
- Ocular rosacea: This subtype affects the eyes and can cause redness, dryness, and irritation. Vbeam can help to reduce inflammation and improve the symptoms of ocular rosacea.
What are the benefits of using Vbeam for rosacea?
Vbeam is a safe and effective treatment for rosacea. It has been shown to reduce redness, improve the appearance of facial blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and improve the symptoms of ocular rosacea. Vbeam is also a relatively quick and painless procedure that can be performed on a same-day appointment. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive treatment protocol for facial blushing, redness, spider veins on the face, and rosacea inflammation.
How many Vbeam treatments are needed for rosacea?
The number of Vbeam treatments needed for rosacea varies depending on the severity of the condition and the individual patient's response to treatment. Most patients require 2-4 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Rosacea is not cured by Vbeam or any other dermatology treatment. It is important to note that Vbeam and topical medications can only improve and treat rosacea. During your consultation, we will assess your rosacea and facial blushing and determine the interval for treatment.
