Vbeam vs IPL for Redness
THE SHORT VERSION
Vbeam Perfecta is a 595 nm pulsed dye laser tuned to blood vessels, so it is the gold standard for rosacea, broken capillaries and red acne marks. IPL treats redness and pigment together but is less targeted. For redness alone, Vbeam is usually more effective.
