With a V-Beam laser treatment, a cooling cryogenic mist is sprayed onto the skin to decrease mild discomfort arising from the procedure and to help prevent the formation of blisters or scabs.
Using this laser, an intense burst of light is produced that destroys spider veins or other vascular lesions while leaving the neighboring tissues intact and enabling normal pigmentation to develop.
In this treatment, collagen is produced in the deeper layers of the skin, which improves the look and feel of scars and stretch marks. This is an FDA-approved treatment.
Exceptional safety and effectiveness have been reported with the V-Beam laser treatment.
Laser treatment with a V-Beam is indicated for the following conditions:
Average Cost
$375
Price Range
$150 to $600
Laser treatment using the V-Beam takes only five to twenty minutes.
Three days prior to, and 3-5 days after your laser treatment, you should avoid taking alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oils, and taking aspirin or ibuprofen. The likelihood of bruising may increase when using these products.
Additionally, be sure to refrain from direct sun exposure. When outdoors, use sunscreen with a minimum SPF rating of 30.
If you plan on undergoing treatment, you should protect yourself from direct sun exposure for a few months prior and after. The darker the melanin or pigment in the skin, the greater the chance of side effects or reduction of effectiveness.
The treated area may develop temporary redness or bruising for about 2-4 hours or 1–7 days, depending on the area treated. It is also likely that you may experience a mild pain similar to stinging from sunburn. Please take care to handle the area after being treated.

V-Beam Laser treatment involves minimal risks, but there is the potential for light or dark discoloration as well as scarring. Excessive exposure to laser light can lead to eye injuries if the eyes are not properly shielded.
In some cases, the lesions will not fade completely after the initial treatment session and may require more than one treatment.
What is the recommended number of treatments to achieve the best results?
A series of V-Beam treatments every two weeks can help reduce acne redness, while other treatments should be given every four to six weeks.
It is recommended to treat angiomas with 1-2 treatments.
In cases of keloid, acne redness, and birthmarks, four to eight treatments are recommended.
What are the contradictions of this procedure?
The following are some limitations of V-Beam laser treatment:
Patients with dark pigments will have less success with lasers, as their skin pigment will reduce the effectiveness of lasers in decreasing blood vessels.
Lesions that are 1.5 mm or deeper in-depth
Do V-Beam Treatments Hurt?
Some patients say it feels like a rubber band being snapped on their skin when using the V-Beam laser. Topical anesthetics may be applied by our experts to ease any discomfort. Laser therapy with the V-Beam is non-ablative, so it doesn't burn or cut your skin. Laser flashes are extremely fast, and the first few bursts might surprise you.
The after-effects of your treatment might feel tingly like a mild sunburn. The sensation should subside after about four to eight hours. Some swelling may also persist for three to five days. It is not uncommon for patients to suffer from minor bruising.
