Pigmentation with VPL

For sunspots and skin pigmentation the light is absorbed by pigments in the skin and it is transformed into heat. This heat breaks down the excess melanin on the pigmented area. Soon after, the spots become darker; sometimes almost black,

Some people will experience a little peeling of the pigment area some will notice the fade without the peeling

Pre-Treatment Care

Call the salon if you develop a cold sore, acne, open lesions in the area being treated, or experience any type of illness before your treatment.

A doctors note is to be provided before this treatment if you have any areas you may be a little concerned off that may have changed colour shape etc

Since VPL treatment uses high-energy light waves, you must take extra care not to expose your skin to UV radiation before your appointment.

No Exfoliating for ten days before  your appointment

 Do not use self-tan or spray tan products for one to two weeks before treatment.

Do not wax, pluck or bleach two weeks before your treatment.

Do not use Retin-A for two weeks prior to treatment.

Do not use Roaccutane for six months prior to treatment.

Avoid Botox & filler at Least 2 weeks prior

Post-Treatment Care

Applying proper home-care products which contain Vitamin A, will improve the skin’s ability to heal and increase the treatment result dramatically.

Do not wear makeup for 24 hours after your treatment

It takes up to two weeks for the excess pigments to be shed off, and during this time it’s very important not to pick or scratch the spots so as to avoid any scarring.

The skin will feel warm sunburnt feeling for up to 48 hours

The skin may go red /pink for up to 48 hours

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

This treatment can be done once a month depending on the healing progress
