Vbeam Laser at Harley Street
Vbeam is a pulsed dye laser (≈595 nm) that selectively targets haemoglobin to treat rosacea, facial veins/telangiectasia, and diffuse facial redness. We also use it for port-wine stains, inflamed acne and post-inflammatory erythema. In carefully selected cases it can support tone improvement alongside other modalities. Your plan is fully doctor-led and tailored to skin type and diagnosis.

Key Benefits
- Targets rosacea, facial veins and diffuse redness with selective photothermolysis
- Helps calm inflamed acne and post-inflammatory erythema
- Supports photo-rejuvenation for more uniform tone and refined texture
- Doctor-led parameters • Integrated cooling for comfort • Minimal downtime in most cases
How Vbeam Works
Vbeam emits short pulses of ≈595 nm light preferentially absorbed by haemoglobin inside blood vessels. This selective photothermolysis treats vascular targets while protecting surrounding tissue. Cooling increases comfort and reduces downtime. Parameters are customised to your diagnosis, skin type and goals.

- Facial veins & telangiectasia

FAQs
Am I suitable for Vbeam?
Most vascular concerns are suitable. We assess diagnosis, skin type, medications and medical history first. If Vbeam isn’t ideal, we’ll recommend an alternative or a combined plan.
Does Vbeam treat pigmentation?
Vbeam primarily targets red concerns (vessels/redness). Some pigmentation may improve indirectly, but brown pigment often needs complementary lasers or skincare. Suitability is confirmed in consultation.
Is there downtime?
Mild redness or swelling for 24–48 hours is common. With certain vascular settings, temporary purpura (purple spots) can occur and fades within days.
How many sessions will I need?
Most concerns require a course of 3–6+ sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. We tailor settings and spacing based on your response.
Will it hurt?
Treatments are generally well-tolerated. Integrated cooling improves comfort; sensitive areas may feel a quick snap of heat. We adapt settings for comfort without compromising outcomes.
When will I see results?
Many notice calmer redness after 1–2 sessions, with progressive gains across the course. Rosacea typically benefits from periodic maintenance.
