As we age, our skin changes.  The youthful appearance of the skin gives way to loss of elasticity, discoloration, sun spots, wrinkles, enlargement of pores and facial veins.  Lasers have improved our ability to treat skin conditions and improve the appearance of the skin.  Dr. Robbins is the Medical Director of The Laser Center at Des Moines Plastic Surgery.  We offer the latest technology in laser skin treatments.  All lasers are either performed by Dr Robbins himself or one of his highly qualified staff members.  Unlike many other “laser centers” that do not have an onsite supervising physician, at Des Moines Plastic surgery your comfort and safety is of the utmost importance.

FACIAL VEINS

Using the Candela VBeam® 

The VBeam® is a Pulsed Dye Laser that delivers an intense but gentle burst of light to targeted areas for treatment of facial veins, brown spots, leg veins, rosacea, warts, poikiloderma, and port wine stains. The laser light is absorbed by blood vessels or pigment, and they are selectively destroyed without damaging surrounding tissue.

What you can expect from the Candela VBeam®

The treatment requires no topical anesthetic cream. The laser has a patented cooling system to offer you comfort during the procedure. You may experience a warming or tingling sensation during the procedure. Occasionally a mild bruise, purpura, may develop from the treatment and resolves within 3-5 days.
