I want to go get V Beam treatments for my redness. I also have some acne that is stubborn. I have heard that V Beam can help acne too. If I get the V Beam for the redness, will it also help my acne? Or do they use it differently for redness than they do for acne? Thanks.
Answer: VBeam as part of acne management Yes, the VBeam can be an important part of the management of acne and associated problems such as redness and scarring.There is some evidence to suggest that treatment with the VBeam can help active acne and there are differing theories about whether this works via the immune response or by attacking the bacteria causing acne. Patients who respond to the treatment typically notice less frequent breakouts after 3-4 monthly treatments.That the VBeam helps with post inflammatory redness and redness of scars is unequivocal. I have found the treatment to be most effective when the laser is used just above the purpuric threshold (just about bruising the treated areas).

CONTACT NOW Answer: Vbeam helps defuse the redness left behind from acne Vbeam laser is an excellent modality for patients who have rosacea, blushing of the skin, facial and body telangiectasia, spider veins, redness, post surgical redness, and skin flushing. It is a safe procedure that can be used at varying depths to help treat micro blood vessels in the skin. We also use it in our office for facial skin inflammation, keloids, and hypertrophic scarring. It is an important part of scar therapy. Vbeam can be combined with chemical peels and other lasers, but experience with the treatment is essential. The Vbeam laser does not affect deeper tissue. Schedule a consultation with an expert in Vbeam and you will find it to be an excellent modality for many skin types. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Yes! It is a costly way to treat acne for it does not cure acne but does help clear it. If you are inclined to try it, try monthly vbeam sessions which help with acne and well as the red scarring left behind. I love it for acne scars that are red! Here is some info on the laser. The Vbeam Laser produces bursts of light that selectively destroy the blood vessels anywhere on the body. Pulsed dye laser treatment is so safe that it has been used successfully for the treatment of port wine stains in infants and young children. The Vbeam skin laser can also be used to treat rosacea, stretch marks, warts and keloids, or even tiny spider veins on the legs or face. After applying numbing cream, the laser light is applied to the patient’s skin. Vbeam skin laser treatment is relatively painless and does not require a long healing time. The most common reaction patients experience include just a few hours of mild redness. Treatment with the Vbeam may consist of multiple treatments, depending upon the condition and needs of the patient’s body. For facial veins, one treatment may be sufficient for clearance (that said, additional treatments are not uncommon). These treatments occur on an average of every 4 weeks depending on the area and type of treatment.

Answer: VBeam and acne The VBeam will help to reduce inflammation of the acne and the redness of your skin. The VBeam is not indicated to treat active acne, we do have the Smoothbeam which is FDA approved to treat acne and we can do that inconjunction with the VBeam to target all of your concerns.

Answer: V-Beam for redness
V-beam does not work for acne. However, many patients with acne experience post-acne erythema - redness all over the face. V-beam works great for that.
