About Intense Pulsed Light (Variable Pulsed Light)
What is VPL ™ ?
Variable Pulsed Light is a safe and effective technology for treatment of unwanted hair and skin imperfections.
Clinically proven to effectively treat unwanted hair, acne, rosacea, thread veins, fine lines/wrinkles, and the visible signs of sun damage, VPL™ treatments leave your skin looking smooth, silky and radiant.
The variable pulses of light emitted from the VPL™ effectively treat and remove unwanted hair and skin imperfections safely and easily, with none of the discomfort of invasive and/or surgical treatments.
Is it Safe?
IPL is safe, non-invasive, has minimal side effects and requires no recovery time. IPL is gentler than laser and much faster as a larger area can be treated with each flash. We believe it is the most advanced hair removal and skin treatment system available.
We value the comfort and safety of the client very highly and will take the greatest care to ensure that you feel at ease about every aspect of the treatment. We will perform a patch test during your consultation. Providing you do not have an adverse reaction you may start treatments after four days. A normal reaction is slight redness, anything else should be reported to us.
How VPL™ Works for Hair Removal
VPL™ uses short, safe, controlled pulses of filtered light to remove unwanted hair quickly and effectively. Carefully filtered pulses of light are absorbed by melanin, the pigment found in hair. This absorption process produces heat, which heats the hair, damaging the follicle along with its ability to regenerate. Hundreds of hair follicles are treated with each pulse, making VPL™ a fast and effective way to treat unwanted hair.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies from person to person, however, it is recommended that you have at least six treatments for hair removal and four for skin rejuvenation. This may be enough for you but you may require more!
Are there any side effects?
Due to the personalised treatment settings determined by your therapist during consultation, you should not experience any side-effects. A slight reddening of the skin can occur immediately after your treatment, this is an indication of an effective treatment and will fade very quickly.
