About Vbeam Pulsed Dye Laser
The Vbeam by Candela is a 595nm pulsed-dye laser (PDL) and the long-established gold standard for treating vascular concerns. Its light is precisely absorbed by hemoglobin in blood vessels, so it selectively heats and collapses unwanted vessels while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. It is the go-to laser for diffuse facial redness, the flushing and visible vessels of rosacea, broken capillaries (telangiectasia), cherry angiomas, and red or raised scars. Treatments are quick and well tolerated, with an integrated cooling spray that protects and comforts the skin with each pulse. Depending on the settings, you may have no downtime at all (purpura-free settings), or brief bruising for a few days when more aggressive vessel clearance is needed. Most patients see noticeable fading of redness after the first session, with the best results over a short series. For pigmentation and melasma, Vbeam plays a targeted, supportive role: a subset of melasma is driven by an underlying vascular component, and reducing that vascularity can improve how stubborn, refractory melasma responds — typically as part of a combination protocol rather than as a stand-alone pigment treatment.
