Dye-VL (Dye-Variable Light)
Understanding Dye-VL
Dye-VL, or Dye-Variable Light, is a precise laser treatment that offers a comprehensive solution for various skin concerns. It utilizes a focused beam of light energy to target and eliminate specific skin imperfections, such as pigmented lesions (like age spots and sunspots) and vascular lesions (like broken capillaries and rosacea). By selectively destroying these unwanted formations, Dye-VL effectively reduces redness, improves skin clarity, and promotes a more even complexion. Additionally, the treatment stimulates collagen production, leading to enhanced skin texture and tone. Dye-VL's versatility allows it to address a wide range of skin conditions, making it a valuable option for individuals seeking to improve their overall skin appearance.
Treatment Overview
A Dye-VL treatment typically involves a consultation to assess your skin condition and treatment goals. The procedure itself is non-invasive and requires minimal downtime. The laser energy is delivered in short pulses to the target area, causing the unwanted blood vessels or pigmentation to disappear. The treatment is generally comfortable, with some patients experiencing a mild sensation of warmth or tingling. Following the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or swollen, but these effects usually subside within a few hours.

The results of Dye-VL can vary depending on individual factors and the treated condition. While many patients experience long-lasting results, factors such as sun exposure and skin aging can influence the longevity of the treatment.
