V Beam
Introduction
There are many different reasons why the skin displays redness. It can be a medical condition such as rosacea, or it can be diet, exercise, nervousness, burst blood vessels, overheating, or even sensitivity.
There are products and makeup which attempts to cover up the flushed look, but they do not really tackle the issue. In order to treat the redness, one of the best options is the VBeam laser, available at PHI.

Technical Information
The VBeam uses an intense beam of light, delivered in long pulses. It gently eliminates damaged or diseased cells. The laser can treat many vascular issues, such as rosacea, thread veins, pigmentation, premature stretch marks and burn scars. The light is absorbed safely and effectively by the pigment in the lesion that is being treated; the pigment is heated up and destroyed.
Patients will feel a warm sensation as the laser is passed over the skin, but there is no need for anaesthetic. The treatment is very quick and the machine simultaneously releases cool air during the procedure.
The improvement can be very dramatic with some patients, and others will notice the change much more subtly. The effectiveness of the treatment depends on the individual, and it could be that some patients will need more sessions than others. It is also important to avoid the sun before and after treatment, as the skin may still be sensitive and more susceptible to burn.
