Vbeam® Perfecta Pulsed Dye Laser

The Vbeam® Perfecta Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) is the gold standard of care for the treatment of a wide array of unwanted blood vessels and vascular lesions on all areas of the face and body. This innovative technology specifically targets and eliminates unwanted blood vessels without affecting normal skin. The treatment can safely be performed on all skin types. Vbeam® laser treatments improve the appearance of redness, rosacea, broken blood vessels, red scars, and vascular lesions to reveal clearer, more even skin tone.

  • The number of treatments required to improve your skin depends on several factors that vary patient to patient, including how severe the redness is and the level of improvement you are seeking. For rosacea or broken blood vessels, most patients require 3-5 treatments performed 4 weeks apart. Cherry angiomas (red moles) are usually eliminated in 1-2 treatments.

  • The cost of the treatment depends upon the type of lesions being treated as well as the size of the area being treated. Cost can only be determined after evaluation in a consultation with Dr. DiGiorgio.

What to expect?

The treatment involves minimal discomfort and is usually well tolerated without numbing cream. The treatment takes about 15 minutes, depending on the size of the area. After the treatment, you will have mild swelling and mild redness in the treated areas for a few days. Expected downtime varies patient to patient and depends on the area treated and the amount of blood vessels that are targeted. Expectations for the amount of downtime will be discussed with you in detail prior to your treatment. After the treatment, you can return to your routine activities and can apply make-up.

You will see results immediately after your procedure however, full results are visualized 1-2 weeks after treatment. The results are usually long-lasting.
