VBeam
The Candela VBeam laser is specially designed to produce an intense but gentle burst of laser light that is optimized to treat vascular lesions. The treatment is safer than traditional methods because of its unique ability to selectively treat the blood vessels of a vascular lesion without adversely affecting the surrounding tissue. Thus, it will eliminate many lesions while leaving the surrounding skin and skin pigment intact. In fact, the laser is so safe and effective that it is recommended for the treatment of infants as young as a few weeks old.
Our patients receive the benefits of the laser system considered by physicians world-wide as the "Gold Standard" for the treatment of a wide variety of vascular skin conditions.
More than 15 years ago, the Candela Laser Corporation first invented pulsed dye laser technology. The VBeam laser system is the newest vascular laser manufactured by Candela.
Candela VBeam laser therapy is gentle enough for use on infants as young as a few weeks old, yet powerful enough to treat most adult skin problems.
In addition to the best standard of care currently available in the industry, the VBeam is less painful than other vascular laser systems. This is due to Candela's exclusive technology known as DCDtm, Dynamic Cooling Device. DCD sprays a liquid onto the skin before each laser pulse, cooling the upper layers of skin, and providing increased comfort to patients. VBeam is the only pulsed dye laser with DCD integrated into the system.
