Pulsed Dye Laser
Our pulsed dye lasers include Candela’s Vbeam Perfecta and Vbeam Prima. The Vbeam Perfecta features a wavelength of 595nm, while the Prima combines that with a 1064nm wavelength for even greater versatility. These devices are particularly adept at targeting visible veins and vascular lesions, eliminating them to produce clearer skin. Our physicians also use these lasers to effectively eliminate birthmarks like port wine birthmarks. Treatments are comfortable for patients and there is no downtime afterward.
The board-certified physicians at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York have an extensive range of laser devices that allow us to customize all our patient’s treatments to ensure an optimal outcome. We have the experience and expertise to help you meet all your aesthetic goals with comfortable treatments and minimal downtime in most cases. Our team would be happy to meet with you to discuss your concerns and create a personalized treatment plan to keep you looking and feeling your absolute best.
How does a Pulsed Dye Laser Work?
A pulsed dye laser works by targeting the blood beneath the skin’s surface. The laser energy goes directly into vessels or lesion, leaving surrounding skin and tissue untouched. The Vbeam Perfecta and the Vbeam Prima both offer the same 595 nm wavelength. However, the Prima combines that wavelength with a 1064 nm wavelength that is effective in addressing blue veins and venous lakes.
Due to the wavelength that the laser operates at, the pulsed dye laser is able to effectively treat the affected area without harming the surrounding skin. This is demonstrated in the following video where Dr. Roy G. Geronemus is able to pop the red balloon with the laser without affecting the white balloon.
What does a Pulsed Dye Laser Treat?
When Will I See Results?
You may see initial improvement immediately following your procedure. However, full results are likely to develop in a week or two after your session. Those results should be very long-lasting.
How Long is the Recovery Time After Treatment?
Downtime after a pulsed dye laser treatment is minimal. Most patients resume their daily routine right away. Side effects are typically mild and temporary and may include some slight swelling or skin redness for a day or two.

I highly recommend Dr. Bae. She is the consummate professional. I had full correction of my cheek area which included reducing my nasolabial folds, the sagginess under my eyes and lifting the heaviness in my cheeks. Like an artist she placed the filler in various areas with a beautiful natural outcome. I am 100% satisfied!!
