How does Vbeam Prima Work?
This laser offers a dramatic improvement in the treatment of blood vessels with the ability to target the blood inside the vein without affecting the surrounding skin and tissue. Post-treatment bruising and crusting are uncommon after this treatment, making the device particularly safe for treating vascular concerns.
The Vbeam Prima adds a second wavelength that allows for the treatment of venous lakes, blue veins, fine lines, and wrinkles. There is no downtime after the procedure, making it easy to work a Vbeam procedure into your daily schedule.
What does the Vbeam Prima Treat?
The Vbeam Perfecta is a powerful vascular laser that can treat the following concerns:
When Will I See Results?
You may see initial improvement immediately following your procedure. However, full results are likely to develop in a week or two after your session. Those results should be very long-lasting.
How Long is the Recovery Time After Treatment?
Downtime after a Vbeam Prima treatment is minimal. Most patients resume their daily routine right away. Side effects are typically mild and temporary and may include some slight swelling or skin redness for a day or two.
