V-Beam and VariLite Lasers

Our versatile V-Beam and VariLite lasers are effective in the treatment of vascular and brown pigmented lesions, Freckles/sun/age spots and in the removal of veins.  Facial veins and leg veins can be removed safely with the highly adaptable lasers without affecting the surrounding skin and tissue. The systems of the two lasers differ but have crossover capabilities, and the V-Beam and VariLite are also effective at treating surface wrinkles, acne, psoriasis, red birthmarks (hemangiomas and port wine stains), angiomas, Poikiloderma of Civatte (uneven coloring of the neck and chest), venous lakes, red stretch marks and warts.   Either the V-Beam or VariLite lasers can be programmed by the dermatologist to the specific needs of individual patients with predictably satisfying results.

NYDG FLASH FACTS

• Depending on the extent of the condition, more than one V-Beam or VariLite treatment session may be necessary.

• Prior to treatment, the dermatologist or dermatologist-trained technician will examine the condition and determine the number of sessions required.

• Some laser procedures cause temporary redness or bruising.  The patient will be advised of any discomfort or downtime prior to the procedure by the dermatology staff.

As with any laser procedure, always follow treatment with strong sun protection, like La Roche-Posay’s FDA-approved products or NYDG’s Physician’s UV Defense developed by Dr. David Colbert.
