Skin Rejuvenation /VPL light treatment
Variable pulse light
If ageing, wrinkles, lines, acne scars, or too much time in the sun has left your face with a blotchy appearance, then Skin Rejuvenation can help your skin look younger and healthier.
Skin Rejuvenation diminishes the appearance of imperfections on the skin’s surface and can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage hands and arms
The VPL Skin Rejuvenation procedure consists of having rapid pulses of light energy directed on to an area of skin with imperfections, while improving the texture, tone, and overall skin appearance.
The treatment begins with a cooling gel applied to the skin to ensure adequate absorption and penetration of light energy. Clients may experience a mild heat and / or flickering sensation as each pulse of light is delivered on the skin.
You will be wearing protective googles
The skin will feel warm sunburnt feeling for up to 48 hours

This treatment is good to pair with LED light treatment to help the healing process
