Does V-beam Work for Veins on Side of Nose?

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.

VBeam Perfecta by Candela is a 595 mm pulsed dye laser (PDL) that is indicated for the treatment of many different skin conditions. This laser is frequently used to vessels along the side of the nose. Other lasers can also be used including 1064 nm Nd:Yag lasers and 532 nm KTP lasers.  An experienced laser practitioner can help choose the safest and most effective treatment for you.
As always, an in-person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic training is the best way to assess your needs and provide medical advice. 

Yes, in my office, we use a variety of treatments to address visible veins either on the face or legs. We might consider using either V-beam or the Alexandrite laser, depending on the individual patient’s needs. With the V-beam there is no pain or downtime.

Yes, The capillaries or the enlarged broken vessels around the sides of the nose and upper lips and all over the face may be effectively treated with Vbeam laser treatments. It may require more than one laser treatments in order to achieve desirable effects.

Yes the vbeam is a great option (the best actually) to treat facial veins, especially the ones around the sides of the nose
 

    The dialated vessels around the nose can be treated with V-beam or pulse  dye laser. This laser emmits a light of a single wavelength that specifically targets superficial vessels. It works best for small cherry angiomas and vessels that are more red in color. Vessels that are more purple tend to respond less favorably and need more treatments. If the vessels do not respond to laser treatment there are other options available. Consult with your doctor about these options.

In my experience, VBeam works beautifully for blood vessels on the side of the nose.  I do advise patients, however, that multiple treatments are recommended for optimal results.  I often find 2-3 treatments are sufficient.

The Vbeam works wonderfully for those telangiectasias (pictured) adjacent to the nose. We use them for vascular birthmarks, the pink color left in scars and strecth marks, the diffuse redness or telangiectasias in rosacea, as well as cosmetically undeisirable facial and leg veins. Go for it! It is a simple office visit and may only requre 1-3 visits for complete resolution with little to no down time.

This is a great treatment for perialar or nasal blood vessels. If they are small in size one treatment does the trick. You may get bruising for a few days after treatment. We usually advise 2 treatments using the eliptical spot ( 3 by 10 mm). This can act as a tracing laser for the veins. Sometimes I also use a 755 alex laser for resistant vessels. If the blood vessels are thick , we use the 1064 long pulse laser.
