Sun damage and repeated episodes of flushing can add up to persistent red patches and broken blood vessels. We offer the most advanced treatments to improve the appearance of skin redness, using BBL and VBeam, either alone or in combination.
If you are troubled by facial redness, Haley Dermatology’s educated staff members will first meet with you and discuss medical treatment of any underlying skin diseases including acne and rosacea. We will recommend skin care products to reduce the appearance of redness, and to treat sensitive skin. There are very few topical treatments that make a considerable impact, so we usually recommend topical anti-redness agents in conjunction with laser treatments to optimize redness reduction.
V Beam
The Vbeam® Laser pulsed laser is a versatile device that was designed primarily for the treatment of cosmetic vascular issues, and can also be used for treating pigmented lesions. Some of the specific problems that can be treated with this device include: Broken blood vessels, facial veins and scars. Multiple sessions are needed to achieve maximal change.
The Vbeam laser system produces an intense burst of light that selectively destroys the blood vessels of vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding skin and tissue. The laser is tuned to a frequency that your blood vessels can absorb but your skin cannot.
When your vessels are heated, they coagulate and are slowly absorbed by your body through its natural healing process.
During treatment, you’ll be seated or lying down depending on the area treated. Special protective glasses shield your eyes from the laser light. Our laser specialist will calibrate the laser to your unique needs.
Then, a small handpiece is placed against your skin which delivers short bursts of energy along with a cooling spray between each pulse of the laser. The entire process should last approximately 20 minutes.
