The VBeam pulsed dye laser operates at a wavelength of 595nm — the absorption peak of oxyhemoglobin, the pigment that makes blood red. When the laser energy is delivered to the skin, it passes through the outer layers and is selectively absorbed by blood vessels, which heat and collapse without damaging the surrounding tissue.

This selectivity makes VBeam exceptionally safe and effective for vascular lesions — it treats the target directly without the collateral tissue effects that non-selective treatments can cause. Dr. Mehrabi uses VBeam for both cosmetic vascular concerns and medical conditions including hemangiomas and port wine stains.

Rosacea — persistent redness, flushing, and facial telangiectasias

Facial spider veins and broken capillaries

Port wine stains (nevus flammeus) — VBeam is the preferred treatment

Hemangiomas — both infantile and adult types

Post-acne erythema (PIE) — persistent pink or red marks after breakouts

Hypertrophic and keloid scars — VBeam reduces vascularity, redness, and thickness

Stretch marks — improves the pink/red coloration of newer striae

Cherry and spider angiomas

Poikiloderma of Civatte on the neck and chest

The VBeam laser at BHSkin Glendale addresses a broad range of vascular and pigmented skin concerns:

Conditions Treated

VBeam (595nm pulsed dye laser): specifically targets blood vessels; most effective for discrete telangiectasias and deep vessel involvement; produces the most significant improvement in visible capillaries
IPL (broad-spectrum): targets both vessels and pigment simultaneously; better for diffuse redness with mixed pigmentation; can address brown spots and redness in a single treatment
VBeam is generally preferred when vessel clearance is the primary goal
IPL is often preferred when both redness and brown pigmentation are concerns
Many patients benefit from a combination approach: VBeam first for vessels, then IPL for diffuse tone
Dr. Mehrabi evaluates your specific rosacea presentation and recommends the optimal approach

Both VBeam and IPL are effective for rosacea, but they work differently and excel in different situations:

Frequently Asked Questions

VBeam is one of the most effective treatments for the vascular component of rosacea. Most patients see significant reduction in background redness and visible blood vessels after 2–3 sessions, with continued improvement over subsequent treatments. Because rosacea is a chronic condition, periodic maintenance sessions (typically once or twice a year) help sustain results. VBeam addresses the vascular aspect of rosacea; topical and oral treatments address the inflammatory component.

Many insurance plans cover VBeam laser treatment for port wine stains (nevus flammeus) and certain hemangiomas, as these are considered medical — not cosmetic — conditions. Coverage varies by plan and the location and extent of the lesion. BHSkin’s team can assist with insurance documentation and prior authorization for medically indicated VBeam treatment.

Most VBeam sessions take between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the number of lesions addressed. Simple treatments like a small area of telangiectasias or a few spider angiomas may take only 10–15 minutes. More extensive rosacea coverage of the full face takes longer. The appointment duration includes preparation and post-treatment care instructions.

For infantile hemangiomas that are rapidly growing, ulcerating, impairing vision or breathing, or located in cosmetically significant areas, early treatment — often with oral propranolol in coordination with pediatrics, and/or VBeam laser — is recommended. Hemangiomas that are small and stable may be observed as many involute naturally. Dr. Mehrabi is experienced with hemangioma management and will advise on the appropriate timing and approach for your child.
