Vbeam Laser Longueuil
The Vbeam laser offered at our Dermapure clinics in Longueuil is a vascular laser that uses Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) technology. The light is delivered in gentle pulses and absorbed by the hemoglobin, the red pigment in the blood within small vessels, where it is converted into heat that reduces the appearance of redness and visible vessels while preserving the surrounding skin. A built-in cooling system adds comfort during treatment on the face (cheeks, nose, chin and forehead), the neck, the chest and the body.
The Vbeam laser is most often considered by patients who would like to reduce facial redness, broken capillaries, the redness associated with rosacea, cherry angiomas and red scars. It is not suited to every skin type, which is why a thorough skin assessment is essential before treatment; for spider veins on the legs, sclerotherapy may be recommended as a primary approach. The Vbeam laser can be received on its own or planned alongside other in-clinic treatments within a broader treatment plan.
Because every patient’s skin is different, the Vbeam laser at our Dermapure clinics in Longueuil begins with a personalized consultation and skin assessment. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether the Vbeam laser is the most appropriate option for your skin and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

Follow-Up & Maintenance
While some visible improvements may appear after just one session, most patients benefit from a series of treatments, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, for optimal and lasting results. The number of sessions depends on your skin type, the vascular concern being treated, and how your skin responds over time. For certain chronic conditions like rosacea, occasional maintenance sessions may help prolong your results and keep your skin looking clear and balanced. Your provider will guide you with a tailored schedule that supports your long-term skin health.
Contraindications
Vbeam is a safe and well-tolerated treatment for most skin types, but it may not be suitable in certain situations. Your provider will always assess your skin and health history to ensure the treatment is appropriate and risk-free. Vbeam is not recommended if you have active skin infections, rashes, or open wounds in the treatment area, recent sun exposure or tanning (natural or artificial), pregnancy or breastfeeding, as a precautionary measure, use of photosensitizing medications that may increase skin sensitivity and a personal or family history of keloid scarring (to be evaluated individually). Before starting treatment, a thorough medical evaluation is conducted to ensure your safety. At Dermapure, we prioritize a personalized approach to care so every recommendation supports your skin’s unique needs and overall well-being.
