Treatment Overview
Flushing Control Vbeam is a pulsed-dye vascular laser treatment offered in Korean dermatology clinics to reduce facial flushing, rosacea-related redness, and heat-triggered vascular flare-ups. Using the Vbeam Perfecta/Prima system at a 595 nm wavelength, it selectively targets hemoglobin in dilated blood vessels, shrinking them while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.
Unlike IPL, which treats both pigment and redness, Vbeam is the gold standard for vascular flushing and rosacea, providing precise and long-lasting results. In Korea, dermatologists often combine Vbeam with IPL, Fraxel, or regenerative boosters (exosomes, PN, PRP) to calm skin faster and strengthen the vascular barrier for long-term control.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Flushing, Rosacea, Redness, Vascular Sensitivity, Capillaries family (Flushing Vbeam, Couperose Vbeam, Anti-Redness IPL, Redness Fraxel, Pico Toning):
- Flushing Vbeam: Best for vascular flushing and rosacea triggers.
- Couperose Vbeam: Best for chronic couperose and visible vessels.
