VBeam laser treatment is one of the most effective and non-invasive solutions for reducing redness, rosacea, facial veins, and vascular lesions. But one of the most common questions patients ask is:
How many sessions will I need to see results?
At UK Dermatologist in Manchester, Professor Vishal Madan provides consultant-led, evidence-based laser treatment using the latest VBeam Prima system. Here, we explain what affects your treatment timeline, what kind of results you can expect, and how to plan your journey to clearer skin.
How Many VBeam Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients need between 1 to 4 sessions, depending on the condition being treated, skin type, and treatment goals.
Here’s a general guideline:
|
Condition |
Typical Sessions Required |
|
Rosacea / Facial Redness |
3–6 sessions |
|
Spider Veins / Broken Capillaries |
1–2 sessions |
|
Port Wine Stains |
3–6+ sessions (varies by location, depth and size) |
|
Red Acne Scars |
2–4 sessions |
|
Cherry Angiomas |
1–2 sessions |
|
Poikiloderma (sun damage on neck/chest) |
2–3 sessions |
Each session is usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow the skin to recover and for the body to reabsorb the broken blood cells from targeted vessels.
What Does the Treatment Timeline Look Like?
Here’s what your journey typically looks like:
Week 0: Initial Consultation
Your journey starts with a thorough skin assessment by Professor Madan to determine suitability for VBeam and create a tailored treatment plan.
Week 1: First Session
A quick 5-15 minute session, depending on the size of the area. Mild redness, and/ or swelling may occur for 24–48 hours. If opted for bruising mode, expect this for 7-10 days.
Weeks 4–6: Second Session
The second session continues the process, with visible improvements in redness, vessel size, and skin tone.
Weeks 8–12: Additional Sessions (If Needed)
If your condition requires more treatments, additional sessions are scheduled. Deeper vascular issues or long-standing rosacea may need a full course of 3–4 sessions.
3–6 Months: Final Results
Once the full course is complete, you’ll notice clearer, calmer, and more even-toned skin.
When Will I See Results?
Many patients notice improvement after just one session, especially for superficial redness or broken capillaries. However, optimal results usually become visible after 2 to 3 treatments, with progressive fading over weeks.
Results vary based on:
- Skin tone and sensitivity
- The severity and depth of the vascular condition
- Lifestyle and sun exposure post-treatment
Maintenance Treatments Needed?
Yes—particularly for chronic conditions like rosacea, you may benefit from annual maintenance sessions to keep redness and flare-ups under control.
For static issues like cherry angiomas or post-acne marks, no maintenance is typically needed once the area clears.
