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.
