V-Beam Laser in Busan Seomyeon
Quick answer: V-Beam is a pulsed dye laser (PDL) that emits a 595 nm wavelength absorbed mainly by haemoglobin, making it a long-established option for diffuse facial redness, rosacea flushing, fine capillaries and red scars. It suits people whose main concern is pink or red tone rather than brown pigment. Device availability and the most suitable vascular option are confirmed at consultation at Daybeau Clinic Seomyeon, and pricing is given after assessment.

How a pulsed dye laser works
A pulsed dye laser passes light through a liquid dye to produce yellow light at 595 nm. This wavelength sits close to an absorption peak of oxyhaemoglobin, so energy is concentrated in small red vessels. A cooling spray is released milliseconds before each pulse to protect the skin surface. Pulse duration can be adjusted: short pulses close vessels more aggressively and may cause temporary purple bruising (purpura), while longer pulses aim to avoid bruising at the cost of more sessions.
Who may be a candidate
- People with persistent cheek or nose redness, including rosacea
- Fine, thread-like capillaries on the face
- Pink, recent acne marks or raised red scars
It is less suited to thicker, blue or deeper vessels, where a longer wavelength such as the Nd:YAG option on Excel V may be considered.
V-Beam vs other vascular options
V-Beam is one of several vascular lasers . PDL is often chosen for widespread, diffuse redness; KTP 532 nm for crisp individual vessels; Nd:YAG 1064 nm for deeper vessels. Because device availability varies, your physician will recommend the best available option for your skin at consultation.
Aftercare
Keep the area cool, avoid rubbing, skip heavy exercise and alcohol for 24–48 hours, and wear sunscreen. If bruising occurs, do not pick or scrub; it fades on its own.
V-Beam Laser FAQ
What wavelength does V-Beam use?
V-Beam is a pulsed dye laser that emits yellow light at 595 nm, a wavelength strongly absorbed by oxyhaemoglobin in small blood vessels.
Will V-Beam leave bruises?
It depends on the settings. Short, high-energy pulses can cause purple bruising that lasts around one to two weeks, while longer pulse settings are designed to avoid bruising but usually require more sessions.
Does V-Beam treat brown spots?
No. V-Beam mainly targets red pigment in blood vessels. Brown pigmentation such as freckles or melasma is usually addressed with pigment lasers such as Pico, discussed separately at consultation.
Is V-Beam available at Daybeau Seomyeon?
V-Beam is not on the published price list. Device availability and the most suitable vascular treatment for your redness are confirmed during a physician-supervised consultation.
