Treatment Overview
Acne Redness Vbeam is a vascular laser treatment widely offered in Korean dermatology clinics to reduce post-acne redness, inflamed pimples, and vascular pigmentation. Using pulsed-dye Vbeam laser technology, it targets hemoglobin in dilated capillaries, shrinking visible blood vessels and calming inflamed red marks (PIE: post-inflammatory erythema).
Unlike Fraxel or CO₂ lasers, which focus on texture and pigmentation, Vbeam for acne redness directly treats the vascular component of acne and red scars. In Korea, it is often combined with IPL, Fraxel, or regenerative boosters like exosomes, PRP, or PN to speed up healing and deliver smoother, clearer skin.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Redness, Post-Acne Marks, Rosacea, Sensitive Skin family (Acne Redness Vbeam, Redness Reduction Fraxel, Pico Toning, IPL, Glowing CO₂):
- Acne Redness Vbeam: Best for inflamed acne redness + PIE.
- Redness Fraxel: Best for overall tone correction + redness + texture.
- Pico Toning: Best for pigmentation + mild redness.
