Conditions Treatable with Vbeam
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| Simple Vascular Malformation, Strawberry Hemangioma (Infantile) | These are birthmarks that appear either at birth or shortly after. Simple vascular malformations do not disappear on their own, but early treatment is effective. Infantile hemangiomas may resolve on their own, but Vbeam helps reduce the risk of scarring. |
| Telangiectasia (Rosacea) | Redness caused by the expansion of blood vessels in areas such as the cheeks and nose, forming a web-like pattern. |
| Rosacea | A skin condition characterized by redness, acne-like bumps, and a sensation of warmth or stinging on the face. Vbeam is effective in treating redness and blood vessel expansion. |
| Common Warts (Verruca Vulgaris) | For warts that do not respond to typical cryotherapy, Vbeam uses heat to destroy blood vessels, effectively targeting the virus-infected area. After treatment, the area forms a dark scab that falls off within 2 weeks to a month. |
| Senile Angiomas (Red Moles) | Benign vascular growths that increase with age. If bothersome, Vbeam can reduce their visibility. |
| Red Acne and Acne Scars | Targets inflammation and redness from acne and acne scars. Repeated treatments can help reduce sebum production and improve skin texture to prevent future breakouts. |
| Redness from Scars (Red Scars, Keloid Redness) | Redness in scars or keloids is caused by blood vessel proliferation. Vbeam can help reduce redness, though it cannot improve the raised texture of the scar. |
※The timing of noticeable effects may vary from person to person.
