At BHSkin Dermatology’s Encino office, Dr. Asmi Berry uses the VBeam with the precision of a physician who understands both the technical parameters of the laser and the biology of the skin she’s treating. If redness, visible blood vessels, or vascular lesions are affecting your appearance, VBeam may be the most effective solution available. - Book In-Office Appointment — - Book Virtual Consultation — ![VBeam Laser Treatment](https://bhskin.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Vbeam-1-1.jpg) ## How the VBeam Pulsed Dye Laser Works The VBeam emits a 595nm wavelength of light that is selectively absorbed by oxyhemoglobin — the pigment in red blood cells. This targeted absorption heats and collapses the blood vessel walls without damaging the surrounding skin. The collapsed vessels are then reabsorbed by the body, and the redness, broken capillaries, or vascular lesion fades. This principle of selective photothermolysis — using specific wavelengths to target specific chromophores — makes VBeam highly precise and effective for vascular lesions while minimizing the risk to surrounding skin. It is considered the most effective laser for treating blood vessel-related skin conditions. ![vbeam laser recovery](https://bhskin.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Vbeam-Laser-Recovery-2.jpg) ## Conditions Treated With VBeam at BHSkin Encino - Rosacea — facial redness, flushing, and visible telangiectasias - Facial spider veins and broken capillaries - Port wine stains — congenital vascular birthmarks; VBeam is the treatment of choice - Hemangiomas — benign vascular tumors; VBeam shrinks and fades them effectively - Post-inflammatory erythema — persistent pink marks from acne or skin trauma - Hypertrophic and keloid scars — reduces redness and thickness - Stretch marks (striae) — improves both color and texture of newer, pink stretch marks - Poikiloderma of Civatte — mottled redness on the neck and chest - Angiomas — cherry angiomas and spider angiomas The VBeam at BHSkin Encino is used to treat a wide range of vascular skin conditions: ## What to Expect at Your VBeam Appointment ### 1 Cleansing and application of topical numbing cream if treating sensitive areas (optional) ### 2 Protective eyewear for both patient and provider ### 3 The VBeam handpiece is applied to the skin and delivers pulses of laser energy ### 4 Sensation: brief, sharp snap; the integrated cryogen cooling spray reduces discomfort significantly ### 5 Treatment time: 15–40 minutes depending on area and number of lesions ### 6 Immediately after: treated areas may appear slightly red; vascular lesions may appear darker initially ### 7 Possible mild bruising (purpura) in treated areas — resolves within 7–10 days ### 8 Most patients return to normal activities immediately; makeup tolerated after 24 hours Your VBeam treatment at BHSkin Encino is efficient, well-tolerated, and requires minimal preparation: ## Why Choose BHSkin Encino for VBeam Treatment VBeam results depend significantly on accurate diagnosis (knowing exactly what type of vascular lesion you have), appropriate parameter selection, and the operator’s experience.

Her fluency with IPL, VBeam, CO2, and other light-based treatments reflects her belief that laser medicine should be physician-led — not delegated to technicians.

Rosacea redness and spider veins typically respond in 2–3 sessions. Port wine stains require more sessions — often 6 or more — and response varies with lesion characteristics and location. Hemangiomas in infants respond quickly. Dr. Berry will give you a realistic estimate at your first appointment based on your specific lesion. ### Does VBeam cause bruising? VBeam can cause temporary bruising (purpura) in treated areas, particularly when used at higher settings for vascular lesions. This bruising typically resolves within 7–10 days. Many patients choose Friday appointments to allow the weekend for bruising to settle before returning to work Monday. Lower settings can be used to minimize bruising at the cost of requiring more sessions. ### Is VBeam safe for all skin tones? VBeam is generally safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I–V, as its 595nm wavelength has good selectivity for blood vessels over surrounding melanin. However, darker skin tones require careful parameter selection and conservative settings. Dr. Berry evaluates skin type carefully before treatment and adjusts parameters accordingly. ### Can VBeam treat spider veins on the legs? VBeam is most effective for facial spider veins and small vascular lesions. For larger leg veins, sclerotherapy (injection treatment) is typically more effective and efficient. Dr. Berry will evaluate your specific veins and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach for their size, type, and location. ## Clear Redness and Visible Vessels — Book VBeam in Encino.
