Vbeam is an advanced laser treatment designed to target redness and visible blood vessels in the skin. It is widely used for rosacea, flushing, thread veins and red scars. At Skin Medical, we use Vbeam to help patients achieve a calmer, more balanced complexion with minimal disruption to daily life.
Vbeam is a medical laser that specifically targets the 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.
The treatment is precise, controlled and suitable for a wide range of skin types following proper assessment.
Vbeam is commonly used for:
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 plan.
We then cleanse the skin and deliver controlled pulses across the target areas. Most patients describe a brief warm snap sensation, and cooling helps keep treatment comfortable.
After treatment, the skin often looks flushed for a short period. You can usually return to normal plans straight away, although we advise avoiding heat, intense exercise, and alcohol for a short window if you are prone to flushing.

NUMBER OF TREATMENTS: 2 TO 4 SESSIONS, SEVERAL WEEKS APART.
RESULTS: INITIAL IMPROVEMENT AFTER FIRST SESSION. SKIN CONTINUES TO IMPROVE GRADUALLY OVER FOLLOWING WEEKS.
DURATION: 6 MONTHS TO SEVERAL YEARS (RESULTS MAY VARY)

SIDE EFFECTS: TEMPORARY REDNESS AND MILD SWELLING
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, 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.
