V Beam Perfecta Laser

WHAT IS the V-BEAM PERFECTA LASER?

The V-Beam Perfecta is an advanced vascular laser treatment available in Sydney, designed to safely and effectively target facial redness, visible blood vessels, and a wide range of vascular skin concerns. Utilising pulsed-dye laser technology, V-Beam delivers precise bursts of light that specifically target blood vessels in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. V-Beam is regarded as the gold standard for facial redness and vascular lesion treatment, trusted by dermatologists worldwide for its safety, versatility, and proven results.

how does the v-beam laser work?

V-Beam Perfecta emits a 595 nm wavelength of light, which is absorbed by haemoglobin in blood vessels. This targeted energy gently heats and collapses the unwanted vessels, allowing your body to naturally clear them away over time. The integrated cooling system protects your skin’s surface, making treatments comfortable and minimising side effects.

what can vascular laser treat?

V-Beam Perfecta is highly effective for treating:

Facial redness and flushing (rosacea, sensitive skin)
Broken capillaries (telangiectasia)
Spider veins (face and body)
Port wine stains
Red acne scars and post-inflammatory erythema
Cherry angiomas (red spots)
Poikiloderma of Civatte (redness and pigmentation on the neck/chest)
Red birthmarks and certain vascular malformations
Redness after procedures or trauma

If you’re seeking facial redness treatment, broken capillary removal, or help with visible blood vessels, Dr Liz can assess your skin and recommend the best vascular laser solution.

What to expect during vascular laser treatment

Quick and gentle: Most sessions take just 10–30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
Minimal discomfort: You may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation; the built-in cooling system maximises comfort.
Little to no downtime: Some redness or mild swelling may occur, usually resolving within hours to a few days.
Bruising: Temporary purplish marks (“purpura”) can appear, especially with higher settings for stubborn vessels, fading over 5–10 days.

HOW MANY v-beam TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?

Many patients see noticeable improvement after just one session. However, a series of 2–4 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is often recommended for optimal results—especially for persistent redness or larger vascular lesions.

safety & suitability

V-Beam is safe for most skin types, but Dr Liz will assess your skin to ensure the best and safest outcome.
Sun protection before and after treatment is essential to minimise pigmentation risks.
Vascular lasers are not suitable for active infections, open wounds, or certain medical conditions; Dr Liz will discuss your suitability during consultation.
