How Does V-Beam Work?
V-Beam is a pulsed dye laser that safely and effectively treats discolorations including rosacea, surfaced and visible capillaries, and vascular abnormalities such as poikiloderma, port wine stains, and facial veins. In addition, this laser can help treat redness in scars and stretch marks. The light emitted by the V-Beam is absorbed into the vascular lesion or red area and safely treats the condition.

Are There Any Side Effects?
