My first Vbeam laser treatment on my face was on February 9, 2024. I share my face laser treatment experience and the recovery process. What is Vbeam Laser technology and cost? Do I think Vbeam laser is worth it?
What is the Vbeam Laser?
THE VBEAM LASER
The Vbeam laser is a pulsed-dye laser found in dermatology offices.
It delivers pulsed laser energy at a wavelength of 595 nm. This energy has the ability to pass your epidermis and dermis skin layers without causing damage to skin tissue.
This energy is absorbed by the oxyhemoglobin in the blood vessels and can quickly reduce broken capillaries to brighten your skin without any downtime.
My Face Before Vbeam Laser Treatment
My face looked like this right before the Vbeam laser was used across my cheeks and nose to minimize red spots created by superficial blood vessels.
What does the Vbeam Laser treat?
The Vbeam laser lessens and eliminates the appearance of red spots on the skin, effectively brightening your complexion. It’s highly effective at reducing rosacea breakouts.
This dye-pulsed laser is also powerful at treating spider veins and port-wine stains.
How does Vbeam work?
How does the Vbeam laser treat spider veins? The wavelength of 595 nm energy is absorbed by blood vessels, this power typically causes the vessels to collapse. Over time, the body will break down the destroyed blood vessels and remove them from the body through the body’s natural processes.
How long does it take for capillaries to disappear after Vbeam?
Everyone’s body is different at clearing collapsed blood vessels. Typically, after a Vbeam laser treatment, one can expect to see this clearing and skin brightening within two to four weeks. The severity of one’s condition may require multiple sessions to achieve desired results. Full results are achieved within six months and can last up to two years.
With a good SPF application for protection, you can help extend these benefits.
What is Vbeam Laser aftercare?

What do I use to create YouTube videos?
I’m asked what I use to create. I have a lot of very expensive cameras, but the DJI Osmo Pocket is my favorite for vlogging. It’s small, gimbaled, and shoots easily in vertical 3K and horizontal 4K. The audio is sufficient for vlogging, and I love that as I film, it doesn’t make bystanders feel uncomfortable. It fits in my purse, and I take it everywhere.

Above, you can see how treated broken capillaries become intensely red as they collapse.

I had some vessels close to the surface under my eyes. Dr. Vaughn treated these areas to help reduce their appearance and encourage collagen to help build tissue, which will camouflage the appearance of vessels.
Two weeks after VBeam Laser treatment
I recorded my Vbeam laser treatment on my face for two weeks. My face will continue to improve as the blood vessels are cleared by my body. My pores were minimized from the Vbeam treatment, and further, the trauma caused by the Vbeam laser will boost collagen in my face for a plumper, more youthful face.
Collagen production takes place over three months, so full results are not present at this moment.
What is the cost of Vbeam?
Obviously, costs for any treatment vary based on where you live and where you go. My face Vbeam session was $600.
If you watched my mommy makeover videos on YouTube, then you know I first used the Vbeam Laser to treat my breast and tummy tuck scars. The cost of the Vbeam for scar treatment was $350 per session, and I did two sessions to reduce the redness in my scars. They are thin and white, and I believe the Vbeam laser effectively made my scars nearly invisible.
Is the Vbeam laser worth it?
Based on my experience and the fact that this laser is quick, truly has no downtime, and breaks down superficial blood vessels quickly, YES! I think the Vbeam laser technology is impressive. The cost is actually very low for these results, and I’m a huge fan.
What’s the difference between IPL and Vbeam lasers?
The Vbeam laser treats blood vessels of different calibers and depths on the face and body. Meanwhile, the IPL treats overall facial redness but does not target specific blood vessels. The Vbeam laser is the gold standard treatment for rosacea and visible redness in the skin.
Is the Vbeam Laser ablative?
No. Although, when you receive the treatment, it’s very intense, especially on your face. The light blast is extreme, and the sensation feels like it’s truly destroying the surface of your skin like a CO2 laser would. When the treatment was done, I was shocked that my face wasn’t raw and oozy. This is what makes Vbeam truly special. It blasts those superficial blood vessels but does not leave you a raw mess.
CO2 is best for resurfacing and smoothing out skin. It does this by obliterating skin cells, leaving you raw. There is much more downtime and expense with the CO2 laser experience. However, this laser is effective at smoothing out acne scars and other skin modeling concerns.
The Vbeam is specific for reducing redness by specifically targeting broken capillaries that bother you. The Vbeam is also great at helping restore skin for those who suffer from Rosacea and red flushing.
I hope my experience gives you insight into the Vbeam laser and how it could benefit your skin concerns. xo- Kim

Sharing some insights from how LIVES are delivered inside the app.
This is cut from Mondays LIVE when I did my second session of PLLA.
SIDE NOTE: The Tirzepatide has been a huge success in the app. I can’t believe how many people are ready to take control. Congratulations to everyone whose vials are arriving this week.
-Next week we will be introducing access to NAD+ and Semaglutide.
Access to these peptides is found inside the Natural Kaos App.
The FREE face printable’s are found on my website naturalkaos.com in my profile url I link directly to them.
I like to have a 3 Ring Binder with plastic sheet protectors. I print 20 of these sheets at a time and keep them in my binder.
Each time I do something, I quickly write it down and place it chronologically in my binder.
This makes remembering what you did, where you did it, and when much easier.
It might seem archaic with a million calendar apps that help you navigate life but I love my binder system:)

I realize that some procedures look shocking…Mesotherapy requires many, many pricks.
After a session, I look crazy, or people think I enjoy pain.
THIS IS FALSE
During child birth I needed an epidural with all four deliveries!
I don’t have a high pain tolerance; however, over the years, I’ve developed stamina for the pain.
I enjoy that in our app; we commiserate about all of these aspects of doing professional skincare at home.
I’ve had mesotherapy done professionally, and it’s brutal in professional hands, too. It’s simply the nature of this procedure. I’ve found I can stomach the pain easier if I’m in charge of it.
While I was in Korea, I kept telling my injector that I didn’t want anymore and that whatever was placed was enough for me.
I tried to bow out early, but she insisted I needed to keep going 😂🙈.
If you’ve ever seen my Korean Thread Video, you know I was trying to escape!

The point I want to offer is that not all at-home beauty treatments are as painful as mesotherapy. The major reason Mesotherapy is painful is that you have large areas of skin to cover. You can use numbing cream to take a bit of the bite off, but even 12% topical lido is not going to fully numb you. Some pokes are easy, and others painful.
Mid-face and lip areas are by far my most sensitive regions, and each time I make it through, I feel like a superhero 🦸♀️😅.
I’m motivated by the convenience of performing these procedures at home. Although I don’t look forward to the pain of mesotherapy, I’m always encouraged by the benefits these products have for my skin.
I love the ability and freedom to choose for myself, and I appreciate it when others feel empowered as well.
I’ve never infered that my life choices are suitable for everyone; only that options exist, and that’s why I share.

How I prepare to do Mesotherapy Injections?
I’m using Mayster PLLA. Today is my second round with this quasi Sculptra dupe. The reason I say “quasi” is because it has a lower molecular weight so the particles are not nearly as large as the PLLA molecules in Sculptra.
I’m using this product inside the Natural Kaos App.
You can find it on Apple and Android
I go Live at 4pm pst but all lives are saved inside the app for your future convenience.

Last week, I shared a one-year-out Sculptra video, a result of the two sessions I had the privilege of receiving from the esteemed Dr Rice @estheticscenter in 2023.
Comment “Sculptra” for the full video link sent to your DM 📥 + Last minute Mother’s Day gift ideas.
I received a few comments stating:
1️⃣ “Sculptra can’t be placed beneath the eyes!”
2️⃣ “If you get Sculptra, you are no longer a candidate for a future facelift!”
Both of these statements are false, but I understand why some people have this perspective.
1️⃣ Most people go to med spas where RNs inject. RN injectors are fabulous and typically do more liquid facelift protocols than even the surgeon. However, at some locations, you may find they do not offer certain placements, like the tear trough. This is their decision based on comfort level.
I elected to pay more to have Dr Rice place my Sculptra because I knew he was the best person for this situation.
2️⃣ Offices like @estheticscenter, which profit from facelifts, don’t want to create a population of clientele that later would not be candidates for a facelift.
I truly dislike it when people attempt to fearmonger about products and procedures. It’s always better to look at the larger picture.
If Sculptra were to hinder a facial plastic surgeon from performing facelifts, it would never be in the doctor’s best interest to offer Sculptra. Dr Rice, for instance, is dedicated to serving his patients and providing them with a range of options, ensuring their best interests are always prioritized.
I hope this continues the conservation about Sculptra and gives more insight on why you may go to a med spa and they may not offer Sculptra placement under the eyes.

Happy Sunday…
Warm spring finally arrived and soon it will be in the 90’s.
This week also brought me a cold 🤧
It began with Pink Eye and by Friday I lost my voice.
I woke up on Saturday with a deep cough.
I’ve been in bed this weekend trying to recover so next weeks schedule isn’t compromised.
I’m still planing to do my next session of Mayster PLLA on Monday 5/6, inside the natural Kaos app.
Hopefully my voice can recover more so you can actually hear what I’m saying 😂.
If you know me, you know I like to talk 🗣️🎙️and losing my voice is certainly a difficult by product of this seasonal cold.
If you’ve experienced this years cold let me know if thee is another phase to this that I’ve yet to encounter?
For my app members please know I will rally to make Mondays Live demo. In the end if I still lack a voice I’ll have to cancel only because it would be super annoying to listen to me speak.
Stay tuned:)
PS. I filmed this on Thursday before this cold entered my 🫁.
It was also my third day injecting MELANOTAN 2 and laying out to trigger the melanin in my skin.

It’s not easy having your world unexpectedly turned upside down. Challenges happen in life that we are not prepared for no matter if we are planners.
UNFORTUNATELY, Not everything is in our control!
As a “semi-control freak” (don’t judge me) life continues to teach me that I never know what’s around the corner.
And It’s difficult to be prepared for the next curve ball life throws.
As I go thru another tragic experience (one I’m not sharing yet) it can feel debilitating.
Like what the F***!!! I’m NOT equipped for this obstacle.
The only truth I know, is that I can only control myself. I feel fortunate that I developed my little work out plan becoming accustomed to it pre devastation.
My routine is helping me thru this difficult time and I’m grateful to have it as a constant when other aspects of my life feel wild and unknown.
PSA: Get yourself a routine before your next curve ball!
XOXO Kim ❤️🩷🧡❤️🩷🧡❤️🩷🧡❤️🩷🧡❤️🩷
