Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment (V-Beam® Laser)

Pulsed dye lasers are used to lighten or remove unwanted or abnormal blood vessels in the skin. Pulsed dye lasers use an intense beam of light that is strongly absorbed by vascular lesions. This process minimizes the unwanted blood vessels or redness without harming the surrounding healthy skin. The laser's energy is delivered in short, adjustable pulses that may minimize the risk of bruising or other problems. The pulsed dye laser may be used to treat a variety of skin conditions including, vascular lesions such as port wine stains, hemangiomas, "spider" angiomas and facial redness from rosacea and other causes.
