Vbeam Laser Treatment in Lehi, Utah

Most patients find the Vbeam to be our most comfortable laser treatment, with over 95% of patients completing their session without the need for topical numbing cream. The Vbeam is uniquely equipped with a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), which delivers a quick burst of cryogen spray milliseconds before each laser pulse. This advanced cooling technology protects the skin and creates a "cold snap" sensation that masks the heat of the laser. The result is a highly tolerable, "walk-in-walk-out" procedure that allows you to return to your day with ease.

The longevity of your Vbeam results depends largely on the specific condition being treated. For localized issues like cherry angiomas or individual broken capillaries, the results are often permanent, as the laser completely collapses the targeted vessel. For chronic vascular conditions such as rosacea or poikiloderma, the Vbeam provides significant, long-term clearance that can last for years. However, because your body may naturally develop new vessels over time due to genetics or sun exposure, we recommend a periodic maintenance session once or twice a year to keep your complexion calm and clear.

One of the primary advantages of the Vbeam is its minimal to zero downtime. Immediately following the procedure, you may experience a sensation similar to a mild sunburn and slight "puffiness" or redness in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Unlike older vascular lasers, the Vbeam can be adjusted to avoid purpura (bruising), though we may occasionally use "bruising settings" for more stubborn targets like port wine stains to achieve faster results. Most patients can apply makeup and return to their normal social activities immediately after leaving our office.

We like to say that treating vascular concerns is a lot like weeding a garden. During your first 1 to 3 sessions, we are pulling the "big weeds"—addressing the most prominent vessels and the most visible areas of redness. Once those are cleared, we may find smaller, underlying vessels that were previously hidden, or new ones may "sprout" over time due to sun exposure or genetics.

For localized spots like cherry angiomas, you may only need a single session. However, for chronic conditions like rosacea or facial flushing, we typically recommend an initial series of 3 to 5 treatments to get the "garden" pristine, followed by occasional maintenance "touch-ups" once or twice a year to keep new redness from taking root.
