Pulsed Dye Laser
Introduction To Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment
Targeting skin conditions that were traditionally believed to only affect those of fairer skin tones, but have since been proven to affect patients of colour.
Face veins and redness as conditions are not a health risk, but can cause emotional or psychological distress to the individual and can prove to be difficult to mask by makeup and creams. Pulsed Dye Laser can be very effective in treating redness and other issues like face veins.
The treatment is minimally invasive (non-ablative), does not require anaesthetic to be administered, and can be done in a matter of minutes, depending on the individual patient’s condition.

Technical Information
The Pulsed dye laser, or VBeam, releases long pulses of energy to the epidermis (the top layer of skin), which is drawn to the redness in the skin. The device helps to coagulate the blood and cauterise veins to reduce the flushed look that patients experience, while removing diseased and dead skin cells to give a refreshed look. This treatment can be used to improve the appearance of port-wine stains and strawberry marks, as well as red scars and facial thread veins.
