What is the Vbeam laser and why is it safe?
The Vbeam Laser produces an intense but gentle burst of light that selectively destroys the blood vessels of your spider veins or other vascular lesions, without damaging the surrounding tissue. After laser treatment the surrounding tissue is left intact and normal pigmentation occurs. In fact, pulsed dye laser treatment is so safe that it has been used successfully for the treatment of port wine stains in infants and young children. The epidermis is protected during the treatment with the Dynamic Cooling Device, which sprays a cooling cryogen mist onto the skin before each laser pulse, which also increases patient comfort.
How does the Vbeam help improve the look of scars and stretch marks?
There is no current method or therapy that will completely remove scars or stretch marks. The Vbeam laser can improve the look and feel of most scars and stretch marks by stimulating collagen production in the deep layers of your skin. Multiple treatments are usually necessary to achieve improvement; the amount of improvement depends on the size and severity of the scar or stretch mark. Most patients notice improvement 6-8 weeks after their first treatment. Please note that although we have seen significant improvements using Vbeam laser, the laser will not completely remove scars or stretch marks.
