Dye VL

About the Treatment

Dye-VL is a type of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy that targets pigmentation, redness, and vascular lesions. This advanced light-based technology uses narrowband light energy to address a variety of skin concerns.

Dye-VL Addresses:

  • Sun damage

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Redness

  • Rosacea

  • Broken capillaries

  • Hemangiomas

  • Discoloration due to scarring

The light penetrates the skin to break down pigment and vascular irregularities, while stimulating collagen production, resulting in clearer, more radiant skin with little to no downtime.

The most common areas treated with Dye-VL are the face, neck, and chest; however, it can also be used on other areas of the body. Dye-VL is suitable for most skin types, though individuals with very dark or deeply tanned skin may not be candidates. Your provider will determine if this treatment is right for you based on your specific concerns, goals, and skin type.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Downtime is minimal. Some individuals may experience mild redness or mild swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. Pigmented areas typically darken before gradually fading and it’s important to avoid exfoliating or picking at the treated areas during this process.

  • The number of treatments vary depending on skin condition, concerns being addressed, your specific goals, response to treatments, and adherence to post treatment instructions. Treatments can be performed 4 weeks apart. Your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.

  • The longevity of Dye-VL results varies based on individual factors and the condition being treated. Many individuals see clearer, more even skin for several months after completing their treatment series.

    To maintain your results and prevent future damage, it’s essential to practice proper sun protection by wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and avoiding excessive sun exposure. Incorporating a personalized medical-grade skincare routine will also support skin health and prolong results. Your provider will recommend the best products based on your skin type and goals.
