Candela Vbeam Laser
Vbeam pulsed dye laser is used at Harley Street to treat persistent redness, veins and other vascular‑type marks that don’t respond well to creams alone.
VBeam Laser is often chosen by people with rosacea, thread veins or post‑inflammatory redness who want a clearer, calmer-looking complexion without major downtime.

To make treatment more comfortable, the uses Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) technology that sprays a short burst of cooling mist on the skin before each pulse. This helps protect the surface, lowers the risk of side effects and lets the practitioner use effective settings while the skin as comfortable as possible.
