Sun spots, redness and visible vessels can make skin look uneven. An IPL photofacial with Dye-VL uses filtered light to target the pigment and redness behind them, with no needles involved.
Dye-VL is an IPL applicator on the Alma Harmony XL Pro. It uses Alma’s AFT narrow-band technology to concentrate light between 500 and 600nm, the range absorbed by both the melanin in brown spots and the hemoglobin in red, visible vessels.
Technology
Alma Harmony XL Pro · Dye-VL
Light
AFT narrow-band IPL, 500–600nm
Targets
Brown spots, redness and visible vessels
Treatment areas
Face, neck, chest and individual spots
Traditional IPL uses a broad spectrum of light. Dye-VL filters it down to the narrow band that matters most for discoloration and redness, so its energy is focused on what you want treated.
Brown
Light in this range is absorbed by the excess melanin in sun spots, age spots and areas of discoloration, which are targeted so they can gradually fade as the skin renews.
Sun spots and discoloration
Red
The same range is absorbed by hemoglobin in the small, visible blood vessels behind facial redness, flushing and broken capillaries.
Redness and visible vessels
AFT
Alma’s AFT technology concentrates the light into the 500–600nm band instead of a broad spectrum, focusing energy on these two targets.
Focused, filtered light
The cooled applicator can also be used with Alma’s In-Motion technique, gliding over the area in repeated passes so heat builds gradually.
Treat a single area, combine areas, or target individual spots.
Melasma is better suited to ClearLift, also on the Harmony XL Pro. Ask us at your consultation.
We look at your skin and the concerns you want to treat, review your history, and explain pricing before you decide anything. Dye-VL is not performed during pregnancy.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning before your treatments. Let us know about any new medications, products or recent sun exposure at each visit.
A series of 3 to 6 Dye-VL treatments is typically recommended, depending on your skin and the concerns being treated.
Continue to avoid sun exposure during and after your series, and use daily sun protection. Your provider will review aftercare with you after each session.
Pricing depends on the area treated and is reviewed at your consultation. We accept CareCredit and Cherry payment plans.
