What is Candela VBeam?
Candela VBeam is a noninvasive laser treatment that’s used to minimize the appearance of vascular lesions, spider veins, and other vascular flaws. This treatment involves the use of a pulsed dye laser, which delivers light to the affected area. This laser is designed to go through the skin and then be absorbed by the cells in the blood vessels. The heat of the laser kills these cells and they are eliminated by the body. Success with the Candela VBeam depends on the type of lesions you have, how long you’ve had them and their color. Dr. Roy or Dr. Nguyen will determine if Candela VBeam is right for you. Candela VBeam may cause swelling or redness in the affected area for a short time.
