Treatment Overview
Couperose Care Vbeam is a pulsed-dye vascular laser treatment offered in Korean dermatology clinics to safely treat couperose — chronic redness and visible capillaries caused by dilated superficial blood vessels. Using the Vbeam Perfecta/Prima system at a 595 nm wavelength, it selectively targets hemoglobin in fragile vessels, shrinking them without damaging surrounding tissue.
Unlike IPL, which addresses redness and pigmentation simultaneously, Vbeam is the gold standard for couperose and vascular lesions, offering precise targeting and long-term vessel clearance. In Korea, dermatologists often combine Vbeam with IPL, Fraxel, or regenerative boosters (exosomes, PN, PRP) to reduce recurrence and strengthen skin barrier function.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Couperose, Rosacea, Redness, Vascular Lesions, Sensitive Skin family (Couperose Vbeam, Broken Capillary Vbeam, Anti-Redness IPL, Redness Fraxel, Pico Toning):
- Couperose Vbeam: Best for couperose-related redness + capillary repair.
- Broken Capillary Vbeam: Best for spider veins + localized vessels.
- Anti-Redness IPL: Best for diffuse redness with pigment issues.
- Redness Fraxel: Best for redness + texture + mild scars.
- Pico Toning: Best for subtle redness + pigmentation with no downtime.
