Implementing the advanced Vbeam Perfecta system in the treatment of hemangiomas, red birthmarks, etc.

In particular, in severe or complex cases, these injuries can cause significant functional problems such as impaired vision, breathing, or other daily activities.

Associate Professor, Doctor Le Thai Van Thanh, Head of the Dermatology and Cosmetic Dermatology Department at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City (UMC), stated that hemangiomas are congenital abnormalities that appear early after birth, mainly on the face, scalp, chest, or back. This is a condition of excessive blood vessel proliferation; a small number are congenital at birth, and the tumor grows larger in the first few years before spontaneously regressing. Hemangiomas occur in 3% of newborns and 10% within the first year, with a three-fold increase in females compared to males. In premature infants, the incidence of hemangiomas is 22-30%. Depending on location and size, hemangiomas can cause deformities and even lead to abnormal bodily functions when located in the central nervous system or spine.

Dilated capillaries are a condition where small blood vessels on the skin become dilated. While usually harmless, they can be aesthetically displeasing, especially on the face, where they can easily cause facial redness during daily activities. Port-wine stains are congenital vascular malformations, while dilated and proliferative arteriovenous capillaries often appear shortly after birth.

Currently, with advancements in science and technology, the new Vbeam Perfecta laser technology is being applied to treat vascular tumors more safely, effectively, with reduced recurrence and fewer complications. Vascular tumors are typically a very difficult condition to treat, with lengthy treatment regimens causing many patients to become discouraged and give up. However, with VBeam Perfecta technology, significant improvements in both the size and color of the vascular tumor are seen after the first treatment.

Vbeam Perfecta is the most advanced line of machines from Candela, USA, with many outstanding advantages.

Vbeam Perfecta is a pulsed dye laser technology with the advantage of generating very high peak energy in a very short time. When the laser is applied to the skin, the high-energy pulses selectively damage the target tissue (the blood vessel to be treated) beneath the skin with heat without damaging surrounding tissues. This is because each Vbeam Perfecta pulse consists of 8 independent micropulses, and the energy in each pulse is distributed across these micropulses, allowing for higher overall energy selection and effective treatment with less erythema and the shortest recovery time, thus minimizing unwanted side effects. This has made the Vbeam Perfecta laser system one of the best laser machines for treating blood vessels currently available worldwide .

The new Vbeam Perfecta laser system, recently deployed at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City, is a type of laser for treating vascular tumors that meets stringent standards, effectively targeting and breaking down pigments without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. Vbeam Perfecta is considered the "gold standard" for safety and effectiveness in treating vascular lesions, especially port-wine stains, hemangiomas, rosacea, etc. Its 595nm wavelength allows laser energy to penetrate the vascular skin layer, while the appropriate pulse width is long enough to control blood clotting but short enough to avoid damaging healthy tissue. Combined with a gas cooling system for the epidermis and a handpiece, this minimizes petechiae while achieving optimal treatment effectiveness.

Vbeam Perfecta is equipped with the patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) system, which cools the skin before each laser pulse to ensure patients remain comfortable throughout the treatment.

In addition, Vbeam Perfecta can also address almost all other vascular problems such as dilated capillaries, vascular tumors, varicose veins, redness, pigment lesions, stretch marks, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle removal, hypertrophic scars and acne scars...

The deployment of the modern Vbeam Perfecta system is a testament to the strengths and commitment of the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City in applying advanced, minimally invasive, safe, and effective techniques for patients, as Vbeam Perfecta is the most modern machine from Candela, USA, with many outstanding advantages.

Currently, the Dermatology and Cosmetic Dermatology Department at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City provides the best treatment services for vascular abnormalities such as hemangiomas, varicose veins, port-wine stains, etc. With a team of experienced doctors, equipped with many modern laser machines, and professional interdisciplinary collaboration covering the vascular system from the skin to internal organs, the Dermatology and Cosmetic Dermatology Department can optimally address vascular abnormalities.

Professor Richard Rox Anderson came to exchange experiences and transfer updated techniques on laser therapy.

Specifically, on January 18, 2024, in lecture hall 3A, Professor Richard Rox Anderson, a leading dermatologist from Harvard University and a world leader in laser skin treatment, visited the Department of Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine at the University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City to exchange experiences and transfer updated techniques on laser treatment for blood vessels, contributing to improved treatment effectiveness for patients.

For consultation regarding the treatment of hemangiomas, birthmarks, and other vascular-related skin issues, please register for an appointment at the Dermatology and Cosmetic Dermatology Department, University Medical Center of Ho Chi Minh City - 215 Hong Bang Street, Ward 11, District 5, Ho Chi Minh City. Consultation phone number: 028 3952 7117 (during business hours).
