Clearer, Younger Skin with Dye-VL

DyeVL technology specifically targets the melanin in pigmented lesions, and the hemoglobin in vascular lesions (sun spots and age spots) using a system of selective photothermolysis.

Our incredible laser technology system emits short bursts of light to break down the unwanted accumulation of pigment that can cause splotches and uneven skin tone.

In the case of vascular lesions, the laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin and this results in the abnormal vessels being closed off causing the significant reduction in the appearance of the veins or blood vessels.

During the treatment process the target area can get warm, but we have a cooled hand piece, so when it gets warm, we run the cooled tip for a bit to cool the area down and maintain patient comfort. Most clients can tolerate this treatment without topical anesthetic, but it’s an available option for patients with more sensitive skin (or treatment areas) who want to avoid the feeling of a “hot pinch” or a “snapping” feeling. We can discuss it in your initial consultation and provdie the option for the skin to be numbed 30-45 min before treatment with the application of a topical anesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will be needed?

Some pigmentation and broken capillaries can be treated in as little as one session, others take up to 6 sessions. We most often recommend that sessions are spaced 3-6 weeks apart.

Are these treatments safe?

Yes. This treatment is very safe for the skin with no long-term health hazards from light used in the Harmony XL DyeVL.

What should I expect following treatment?

The areas that we target will turn darker before turning lighter. Sometimes these areas will shed the outer layer of the skin within a week, sometimes it takes a few weeks. Typically, you will not peel or blister. Your skin may be a bit red and some people experience a small amount of puffiness. Within a few weeks the outer layer of the skin will exfoliate away to reveal a refreshed, brighter, and more even skin tone.

How much does IPL cost?

Every patient’s case is unique, which means the cost of IPL treatments will be dependent on your personal goals. Rêve Aesthetics Medspa may offer specials on treatments, like IPL therapy, at times, and we accept a range of easy payment options. During your aesthetic visit, our team can estimate your treatment cost and explain the number of appointments needed to help you reach your goals.

What are the possible side effects of IPL?

Most patients have mild, temporary side effects, like redness, swelling, blisters, crusting, or bruising. However, this should naturally subside 2 – 3 days following your treatment. Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun, and excessive exposure to damaging UV rays can negatively impact the results of the procedure. You should also wear sunscreen to help prevent skin problems, including sun spots and redness.

Do I need to prep for IPL?

Patients in Suwanee, GA preparing to receive IPL therapy are typically asked to skip self-tanners and sun exposure for a minimum of 2 – 4 weeks prior to the treatment. You should stop using certain medications several days before each procedure and will likely need to avoid taking blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications for 5 – 7 days before your appointment to decrease your risk of developing bruises. You should also use sun protection (like a hat and sunscreen).

Why should I get multiple IPL sessions?

A full series of IPL photorejuvenation is recommended to deliver gradual, natural-looking enhancements to your skin. Each treatment will help to diminish surface irregularities and spots. A series of treatments also produce longer-lasting aesthetic results.

What Is Laser Hyperpigmentation Treatment?

Hyperpigmentation is a common medical condition characterized by darker areas that develop on the skin. These darkened splotches may pop up in any location on the face and body and vary in size and shape. Discolored areas on the skin may also include acne scarring or sun spots from issues, such as melasma, psoriasis, and eczema. Our team at Rêve Aesthetics Medspa addresses hyperpigmentation conditions routinely using the Alma Harmony XL PRO laser. Providing skin rejuvenation, these laser-based hyperpigmentation treatments often reduce the presence of this condition and help even out your skin tone and complexion. We encourage you to contact our practice in Suwanee, GA for more information!

What causes hyperpigmentation?

Often, a person’s body might automatically produce more melanin than is required. Several health and environmental conditions may also elevate an individual’s chance of areas of pigmentation, including specific oral or topical medications, injury or trauma to the skin, or sun exposure.

How long does the treatment for hyperpigmentation take?

The number and length of Harmony XL PRO laser hyperpigmentation treatments at Rêve Aesthetics Medspa will vary for each patient and will be based on the extent of each case. However, each session lasts about a half-hour, and many individuals effectively minimize their hyperpigmented patches over the course of 3 – 4 sessions spaced out about four weeks apart. Following your consultation, our staff can offer further details involving your cosmetic treatment plan.

Melasma-induced hyperpigmentation can occur anytime throughout your life. It’s most commonly believed to be caused by hormonal fluctuations, such as those that are experienced with birth control pills and pregnancy. Additional sources that are often related to melasma are sun damage, stress, and a genetic predisposition.

How does laser treatment for melasma work?

During treatment with the Harmony XL PRO laser handpiece, a member of our team will direct a healing energy beam into darkly pigmented spots on the skin. The light will gently help to diminish hyperpigmentation, which can be absorbed by your body. Even though pigmented spots might darken initially, they will most likely diminish after about a week or so.

Does melasma come back after laser treatment?

While laser options can work to lessen the look of melasma, more pigmented splotches might emerge as time goes on. Routine procedures could be suggested to help prolong your outcomes.
