UK clinic first to install new Vbeam device in Europe
Dermatologist Dr Firas Al-Niaimi has become the first in the UK and Europe to install the new Candela Vbeam system in his clinic, following its recent CE mark approval.
Long considered a ‘gold standard’ for Pulsed Dye Lasers (PDL), the Vbeam has a 20-year history and is used in nearly 700 university hospitals worldwide.
The new Vbeam Prima builds on that legacy by offering advanced features to help physicians and patients achieve better results and an improved treatment experience.
Dr Al-Niaimi said, “The Perfecta energy was sufficient, but increased energy in Vbeam Prima, coupled with a larger maximum spot-size (15mm compared to 12mm) means faster treatments. The need to calibrate the device only on first use with a wavelength means that patients do not experience any delays once treatments have started.
“The ability to choose contact cooling enables me to deliver an effective, comfortable treatment of surface pigment and in the same treatment session I can now combine 595nm Pulsed Dye Laser with 1064nm Nd:YAG, allowing me to treat both superficial vessels and deeper vessels effectively.”
