Vbeam at The London Cosmetic Clinic
Vbeam is a pulsed dye laser (PDL ≈595 nm) that selectively targets haemoglobin to treat vascular concerns with precision. At our Harley Street clinic, specialist doctors use Vbeam to improve rosacea, diffuse/background redness, facial thread veins, port-wine stains and inflammatory acne including post-inflammatory erythema. We design quiet, natural-looking changes that align with your skin goals and lifestyle.

How Vbeam works
Vbeam delivers short pulses of ~595 nm light that are preferentially absorbed by haemoglobin. The process—selective photothermolysis—heats and clears targeted vessels while helping protect the surrounding skin. Doctor-selected pulse durations, fluence and spot sizes allow precise control for different concerns and skin types.
Who is a good candidate?
- Rosacea or persistent facial redness seeking calmer, more even tone.
- Visible facial thread veins (telangiectasia) or vascular birthmarks (e.g., port-wine stains).
- Inflammatory acne with lingering redness (post-inflammatory erythema).
- Desire for subtle, natural improvement with minimal disruption.
We’ll review medical history, skin type, medicines, tanning and expectations to confirm suitability.

|---|---|---|
| Vbeam (PDL) | Rosacea, diffuse redness, facial veins, PWS, acne erythema | Selective haemoglobin targeting; refined vessel work |

Patient Reviews
FAQs
Am I suitable for Vbeam?
Most vascular concerns are suitable. We confirm diagnosis, skin type, medicines and expectations first, and advise alternatives if Vbeam is not ideal.
Does it help pigmentation?
Vbeam primarily treats red concerns. Brown pigment often needs complementary lasers or medical skincare; we’ll advise after assessment.
Is there downtime?
Mild redness or swelling for 24–48 hours is common. With specific vascular settings, temporary purpura may occur and usually fades within days.
How many sessions will I need?
Most concerns require a course of 3–6+ sessions at 4–6 week intervals. We tailor the plan to your response.
Does it hurt?
Treatments are generally well-tolerated. Cooling improves comfort and we adjust settings sensitively.
When will I notice improvement?
Many patients see calmer redness after 1–2 sessions, with progressive refinement across the course. Rosacea often benefits from periodic maintenance.
