Candela vbeam

The Candela Vbeam Perfecta system is a pulsed dye laser (PDL) used for treating various skin conditions, including vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, and acne. It works by targeting and destroying blood vessels within the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of redness, spider veins, and other vascular problems.

*CONSULTATION IS REQUIRED VIA ZOOM OR IN PERSON BEFORE TREATMENT

How it works

  • No tanning within 2 weeks of the first treatment. Avoid tanning during the treatment series to avoid adverse events. Also avoid spray tanning or tanning lotions or creams in the treatment area.

  • Avoid Skin irritants such as products containing tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, adapalene, Differin or glycolic/salicylic acids, astringents, etc.) for 3 days pre and 3-5 days post treatment, depending on how your skin recovers

  • Avoid treatments that may irritate the skin for 1-2 weeks prior to treatment (waxing, depilatories, etc.) No chemical peels within 3 weeks of your treatment.

  • For Male patients:  Please shave closely the morning of your appointment as doing so will make the treatment more comfortable for you.
