Reduce redness in all skin types with no surgery, minimal downtime and trusted results. Skin Medical are experts in Vbeam laser treatment.
Vbeam is a medical laser that specifically targets redness in the skin. It works by gently heating and shrinking unwanted blood vessels without damaging the surrounding tissue.
This makes it particularly effective for conditions where redness is the main concern, rather than texture or pigmentation.
Because the laser targets blood vessels rather than melanin, Vbeam can often be used safely across a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin types, when performed by experienced practitioners following proper assessment. The treatment is precise, controlled, and designed to improve redness while protecting the surrounding skin.

During your consultation, we assess your skin carefully to confirm whether your redness is vascular in nature and suitable for laser treatment.
Your appointment starts with a consultation so we can assess your skin, discuss triggers, and confirm a safe treatment plan.
We then cleanse the skin and deliver controlled laser pulses across the target areas. Most patients describe a brief warm snap sensation, and integrated cooling helps keep the treatment comfortable.
Vbeam targets blood vessels rather than pigment, therefore it can often be used safely across a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin types, when carefully assessed and performed by experienced practitioners.
After treatment, the skin may appear slightly flushed for a short period. Most patients can return to normal activities straight away, although we advise avoiding heat, intense exercise, and alcohol for a short time if you are prone to flushing.

Most patients describe a quick snapping sensation with warmth. Cooling supports comfort during treatment.
Many patients need 2 to 4 sessions. The exact number depends on the type of redness, vessel depth, and whether we treat a single area or the full face.
Vbeam is widely used for rosacea and facial redness because it targets dilated vessels that contribute to flushing and persistent redness.
Vbeam can improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks, particularly when redness is a prominent feature.
Downtime is usually minimal. You may look flushed afterwards, and bruising can happen in some cases. We tailor settings to your skin and your tolerance for downtime.
Vbeam has regulatory clearance for a range of skin types, including darker skin tones. However suitability is individual and depends on your skin tone, your condition, and your medical history. Your consultation confirms the safest approach.
Yes. Vbeam is highly effective for treating facial thread veins and broken capillaries. The laser targets the unwanted vessels, causing them to gradually fade while preserving the surrounding skin. Many patients notice clearer, more even skin after a short course of treatment.
Vbeam is often chosen for sensitive or reactive skin because it specifically targets redness without resurfacing the skin. During your consultation, we assess your skin type and sensitivity to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
Yes. Vbeam can reduce persistent red marks left after acne by targeting the excess blood vessels that cause the redness. This helps the skin appear clearer and more balanced, especially when redness lingers long after breakouts have settled.
At Skin Medical, we focus on selecting treatments that are evidence-based and appropriate for your individual skin.
Redness can have multiple causes. Therefore, we assess not only the visible symptoms but also your skin sensitivity, lifestyle triggers and long-term goals. Where appropriate, Vbeam may be combined with skincare or other treatments to support more stable, longer-lasting results.
Our approach prioritises natural outcomes, safety and long-term skin health.
