VPL™ Skin RejuvenationAfter extensive training by both Drs. Rojas and Rosen, along with their staff, we’ve added to our practice the latest in technology from Europe for aesthetic treatments, the McCue Ultra VPL (Variable Pulsed Light). With this FDA approved VPL System, we can now treat the following: |
• Facial Photo Rejuvenation
• Sun damage – Age spots – Freckles
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Facial veins
• Rosacea
• Acne
• Leg veins (thread and spider veins)
We chose VPL because it is just as effective as laser treatment and in many cases, more effective. VPL is much safer and significantly less painful than laser. The treatments are quick, there is NO downtime after treatment and the results are exceptional.
Q:How does it work?
A: A light signal is sent to the body's collagen production system, this then enhances the rate at which the collagen is produced. Additionally, irregular pigmentation absorbs the light and some of the melanin producing cells are disabled thus evening out skin colour. Finally, fine vessels that have become apparent at the skin surface can absorb the light and be removed.
Q: What areas can be treated?
A: This procedure works well over the face, neck, chest, legs, arms and back of the hand.
Q: Are there any side-effects?
A: Due to the special parameters used there are little or no side-effects. The treatment has been likened to being flicked by a hair brush, but the skin may go slightly red for a few hours.
Q: When will I see results?
A: The improvement is gradual so you will not see the result for about three months. Because you see yourself everyday it is difficult for you to see gradual improvements taking place. Collagen can take up to nine months to fully mature so gradual improvements will continue over this time.
Q: How long do the effects last for?
A: This depends on your lifestyle. However, improvements can continue over several months. The consultation with our aethetician will provide you with a skin care regimen that will help maintain improvements.
Q: For fine lines and wrinkles how much does the collagen increase by?
A: We cannot measure the amount of collagen produced due to everybody having a differing base level. But there will be a substantial increase in the rate of collagen production.
