Treatment Overview
Broken Capillary Vbeam is a pulsed-dye vascular laser treatment offered in Korean dermatology clinics to safely target and eliminate broken capillaries (telangiectasia), spider veins, and small visible blood vessels on the face. Using the Vbeam Perfecta/Prima system at a 595 nm wavelength, the laser specifically absorbs hemoglobin in dilated blood vessels, collapsing them without damaging surrounding skin.
Unlike IPL, which offers broad-spectrum pigment and redness control, Vbeam is considered the gold standard for treating vascular conditions such as broken capillaries, rosacea, and chronic redness. In Korea, dermatologists often combine Vbeam with IPL, Fraxel, or regenerative boosters (exosomes, PN, PRP) to enhance skin clarity and strengthen vessel repair.
