### Description:
The Vbeam is a 595 nm flash-lamp excited pulse dye medical laser, controlled by an embedded microprocessor., to be used for the treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions, such as facial and leg telangiectasia, rosacea, port wine stains, hemangiomas, angioma, spider angioma, Poikiloderma of Civatee and benign cutaneous lesions, such as warts, scars, striea and psoriasis. Photocoagulation of benign cutaneous lesion and benign vascular lesion in Gynecology, for the treatment of wrinkles and the treatment of inflammatory acne vulgaris.. The Vbeam laser may be used with the Candela Dynamic Cooling Device, which provides a short burst of cryogen spray prior to firing the laser pulse. The laser output energy is delivered via an optical fiber to a handpiece, which produces circular beams with diameters of 5, 7 or 10 millimeters on the skin. The cryogen, which is housed within the laser enclosure, is delivered via a hose to a nozzle located in the handpiece.
The Candela Vbeam Pulse Dye Laser is equipped with safety interlock systems to protect patients and operators. Users of the device make selections from an onboard control panel to regulate operation during treatment.
