How does the Candela Vbeam Laser treatment work to heal your psoriasis?
The Candela Vbeam pulse dye laser technology is particularly suited for the laser treatment of psoriasis because it provides for the selective elimination of small blood vessels that support the growth of the psoriatic plaque. With these vessels gone, the growth of the plaque should be significantly slowed or discontinued.




What should I expect from this psoriasis laser treatment?
Treatment with the Vbeam may consist of multiple treatments. These treatments occur on an average of every six to twelve weeks. Each individual situation may vary and it is best to discuss yours with the our physicians. The type of vascular lesion to be treated will determine the number of treatments needed.

Will the psoriasis laser treatment hurt?
The DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device) which is built into the laser system, delivers a short burst or spray of cryogen just prior to the laser pulse being delivered. The DCD has been instrumental in reducing pain associated with treatment, as well as reducing the possibility of blister/scab formation. In some instances, a topical cream anesthetic or local injection can be used if requested. The feeling of a laser pulse has been described as being snapped by a rubber band or a slight stinging sensation. Following laser treatment, the area may continue to sting slightly or feel warm like a sunburn. If a large area is to be treated, anesthesia may be used. A small test area can be performed before the entire area is treated to evaluate your pain tolerance. Most patients tolerate this procedure without any need for anesthesia. Applying ice packs post-operatively can alleviate any discomfort experienced during the procedure.

How long will the psoriasis laser treatment last?
The duration of your psoriasis laser treatment depends on the size of the area you wish to have treated or the time allotted by the physician or nurse performing your treatment. You will need to discuss this with the physician or nurse performing the treatment.

Some insurances may cover the cost of treatments. If you have no insurance, cost/treatment start at $95 dollars.
