Vbeam Laser Ottawa

Vbeam Laser is a non-invasive vascular laser treatment performed in clinic. It uses Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) technology that delivers gentle light pulses absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood, allowing the treatment to target visible redness, dilated vessels and other vascular irregularities without harming the surrounding skin.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Preliminary Skin Cleansing

Your skin will be gently cleansed to remove makeup, sunscreen, or surface impurities, ensuring optimal contact with the laser and effective delivery of light energy.

Step 2

Protective Eyewear

You’ll be given specialized goggles to shield your eyes from the laser light throughout the procedure.

Step 3

Application of a Protective Gel

A cooling gel may be applied to the treatment area. This helps guide the laser pulse smoothly across the skin while enhancing comfort and protection.

Step 4

Setting Parameters

Your medical provider will adjust the device’s settings based on your skin type and the specific vascular condition being treated. Every session is fully personalized to ensure safe and precise results.

Step 5

Delivery of Light

The laser is gently pulsed across the targeted areas. You may feel a quick burst of cold followed by a light warmth or tingling—often compared to a rubber band lightly snapping against the skin. Most patients find the treatment very tolerable.

Step 6

Cleaning and Application of Specialty Products

After the treatment, your skin will be cleansed again, and soothing post-treatment products will be applied to support recovery and comfort.

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.
