VPL™ is the latest advance in non-invasive skin treatment technology. This quick, effective and safe treatment helps to improve skin texture and tone and reduces a wide variety of skin imperfections for both men and women. VPL™ offers a safe, non-surgical treatment for many different skin conditions often brought about by age or over-exposure to the sun.

How VPL™ works for skin rejuvenation

Sun damage and the effects of ageing can leave skin looking tired and prematurely aged, resulting in skin imperfections on the face and body. VPL™ uses carefully filtered light energy to target the different structures within the skin to reduce imperfections and improve skin texture and tone.

 Thread veins, spider naevi & cherry spots

These are conditions where small broken veins become visible on the skin's surface. During a VPL™ treatment light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels that make up these imperfections. This absorption process heats up and breaks down the vessels. Effective VPL™ treatments allow the body to recognise these broken vessels as waste and remove them naturally.

Fine lines & wrinkles

Collagen is the substance in our bodies that keeps our skin looking youthful and smooth. As we age, our bodies naturally produce less and less collagen, resulting in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The carefully filtered light from VPL™ systems stimulates fibroblasts cells in the body to produce more collagen. This new collagen moves outwards to the skin's surface resulting in a smoother texture, smaller pore size and reduced fine lines and wrinkles.

Acne

Acne is caused when pores become blocked by over production of sebum and dead skin cells. Once pores are blocked bacteria can build up and cause infection. This can result in acne. VPL™ treatment improves acne vulgaris (active acne) by destroying anaerobic bacteria that causes the infection by producing an oxygen rich environment. VPL™ light also effectively reduces the inflammation associated with acne.

Acne is reduced significantly following a course of treatments and skin texture and tone is improved as VPL™ initiates further collagen production.

After a thorough consultation your therapist will apply a cooling gel to the area being treated to ensure that the light energy from VPL™ achieves the best results. After your treatment, the cooling gel will be removed and a sunscreen lotion will be applied.

A course of treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal results, the length of which will depend on the condition being treated and its severity.
