Target Redness, Restore Clarity

Offered at your clinic

Vbeam Laser Vancouver

Vbeam is a non-invasive laser treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver. This pulsed dye laser uses targeted light energy to treat visible blood vessels and persistent skin redness. By directing controlled heat toward the blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, Vbeam may help reduce vascular concerns and improve the appearance of uneven skin tone while minimizing the impact on surrounding tissue.

Book an Appointment

Vbeam laser treatment can address a range of vascular skin concerns, including rosacea-related redness, broken capillaries, facial spider veins, red marks left by acne and certain vascular lesions. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead, although other areas of the body may also be treated. Depending on the condition and its severity, several sessions may be recommended. Vbeam can also be considered alongside complementary treatments as part of a broader approach to skin health.

Because every patient’s skin type, medical history and vascular concerns are different, Vbeam laser treatment at our Vancouver clinics begins with a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. During this assessment, you will discuss whether Vbeam is appropriate for your skin, the recommended number of sessions, expected improvements and potential side effects, including temporary redness, swelling or bruising.

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. We prioritize a personalized approach to care so every recommendation supports your skin’s unique needs and overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a vascular laser?

A vascular laser is a medical device that uses targeted light energy to treat visible blood vessels, redness, and vascular lesions in the skin. It works by emitting a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by hemoglobin, the red pigment in blood cells. This causes the treated vessels to gradually collapse and fade, without damaging the surrounding tissue. Vbeam is one of the most advanced and widely used vascular lasers in medical aesthetics today.

How long does it take to heal after a vascular laser treatment?

Most patients experience mild redness or swelling right after treatment, which typically fades within a few hours to two days. In some cases, mild bruising may appear, especially when deeper or more prominent vessels are treated, but this usually resolves within 5 to 7 days. There is no downtime, and most people can return to normal activities the same day, making Vbeam a convenient option for treating vascular skin concerns with minimal disruption.
