How It Works
Two wavelengths in one laser: one for fine, red vessels, and one that reaches deeper for bluish veins.
Two Wavelengths, One Laser
- 595 nm
- A pulsed dye laser. Absorbed by the blood in fine, red vessels, it gently closes them off. Your body then clears them away naturally.
- 1064 nm
- An Nd:YAG laser. It reaches deeper, for bluish veins and small leg veins.
A burst of cooling spray protects the skin with every pulse, so treatment is quick and comfortable.

Questions
Something else on your mind? Call 514-983-3409, or ask at your complimentary consultation.
Does it hurt?
Each pulse feels like a light snap of an elastic band, followed by a cooling spray. Most people find it very tolerable, with no numbing needed.
Can you treat leg veins?
Yes, small leg veins. The 1064 nm wavelength reaches deeper for bluish veins and leg veins, usually over 2 to 4 sessions, every 6 to 8 weeks. They can take up to 3 months to fully fade. Large, bulging or painful leg veins need a medical assessment first.
Will I bruise?
Possibly. Some areas may bruise slightly, and it fades within one to two weeks. Mild redness or swelling usually settles within a day or two.
Is it safe for darker skin?
The Vbeam Pro is adapted to all skin types. At your assessment, we choose the right wavelength and settings for your skin. Let us know if you have a recent tan or sunburn, as we may need to adapt or postpone your treatment.
What makes the Vbeam Pro different?
It has two wavelengths in one laser: 595 nm for fine, red vessels, and 1064 nm, which reaches deeper for bluish veins. A burst of cooling spray protects the skin with every pulse, so treatment is quick and comfortable.
