YOUR Journey to Enhanced Skin
Vbeam works on the principle of photothermolysis, meaning the laser energy is aimed mainly at blood inside vessels rather than the tissue. As the treated vessels are gradually cleared away over the following weeks, redness and vascular marks fade, with many noticing a change within a week or two of treatment.
Because the laser fires in short pulses and is paired with cooling, most sessions are described as a series of quick stings or snaps and only temporary redness or afterwards. This makes it easier to fit treatment around normal daily plans.
