Examples of Some Vascular Conditions Treated by VbeamVBEAM LASER SITE
Rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic and potentially life-disruptive disorder of the facial skin which typically begins any time after age 30 as redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go. In some cases, rosacea may also occur on the neck, chest, scalp or ears. Over time, the redness becomes ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. Left untreated, bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases the nose may grow swollen and bumpy from excess tissue.
While there is no cure for rosacea, and the cause is unknown, therapy is available to control or reverse its signs and symptoms. Vascular lasers such as Vbeam have proved to substantially reduce and often eliminate the redness and flushing of rosacea that is so problematic. Another procedure that is very useful in treating Rosacea is called Photofacial which uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. IPL treatments and Vbeam laser treatments are commonly used together in a Rosacea treatment program for their synergism (combined beneficial effects).

Rosacea should be treated as early as possible to help prevent progression of the condition and worsening of symptoms.

Broken Capillaries
Telengectasias or facial and nasal spider veins are typically a result of Rosacea or sun exposure, but can also have a genetic basis. These tiny broken veins on the face cause a persistent flushed looked and have the visual effect of "aging" the face. They are often aggravated by heat, alcohol, tobacco and sun. Skin that is prone to these broken vessels should be protected from the skin as much as possible. The Vbeam laser is a very effective tool in treating these blood vessels.
