Viora IPL® (Intense Pulse Light) is revolutionizing intense pulsed light treatments by establishing a fresh benchmark, providing swift and painless outcomes for skin rejuvenation, acne clearance, vascular lesions, and pigmented lesions.

IPL involves a broad spectrum of light wavelengths, in contrast to lasers that generate synchronized light waves. The fundamental principle behind IPL is selective photothermolysis, which can be broken down as follows: "photo" refers to light, "thermo" pertains to heat, and "lysis" signifies destruction. It presents itself as an exceptional solution for photo-rejuvenation. Its distinctive applicator administers a potent, wide-ranging, and noticeable pulsed light, skillfully directed toward specific skin structures using heat and light.

Through the harmonious blend of Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and Light Frequencies, Viora IPL® releases these energies onto pigmented lesions or hemoglobin, elevating the skin's condition. Despite its significant potency, this treatment does not adversely affect the adjacent healthy skin tissues.

The precisely controlled light pulses penetrate the skin's layers, pinpointing imperfections. This process prompts the body's natural mechanisms to eliminate the targeted tissue. Simultaneously, Viora IPL® therapy encourages collagen production and the emergence of new, healthy skin cells. With time, facial skin exhibits marked enhancements in its overall appearance and texture.

First, an initial consultation is conducted to understand your goals, assess your skin needs, and determine the number of sessions required to begin the treatment. We will ask you to complete a full health questionnaire to identify any contraindications.
You have the option to do a patch test on the treatment area, then come back in a few weeks to assess for any adverse reactions or continue your treatment session on that same appointment. After a comprehensive discussion about your skin objectives on your initial consultation, the subsequent treatment sessions will be more efficient, focusing directly on the treatment without extended delays.
During the procedure, you'll be provided with protective goggles and/or specialized adhesive IPL eye shields. Additionally, ultrasound gel will be applied to the treatment area, serving to prevent light dispersion and enhance your comfort throughout the session. The Viora-IPL® device incorporates contact cooling to ensure the safety and comfort of the patient. If needed, we can apply a gentle topical anesthetic to alleviate any discomfort. However, it's important to note that this should not be used for vascular lesions. Topical anesthetics have a vasoconstricting effect, causing blood vessels to narrow. In cases where the blood vessel is not visible, the IPL treatment won't be effective.

Unfortunately, everyone’s discomfort threshold varies. Some report a feeling comparable to a warm prick or a rubber band snap on the skin’s surface. Viora-IPL® releases a cooling sensation before, during, and after every pulse, to maximize comfort. If needed, we can apply a gentle topical anesthetic to alleviate any discomfort.

Yes, it is safe and is suitable for all skin types. While uncommon, a few may experience occasional skin redness near the treated area as a side effect. Should this occur, the redness will naturally diminish over time.

The treatment can range between 10 – 50 minutes, depending on the desired treatment area size. Feel free to ask questions or share any concerns you may have during your appointment; we encourage open communication throughout the process.

While each individual is different, improvements can be seen after the first session or a week out of each treatment. Every IPL treatment builds upon the previous one, allowing the skin to react gradually. For the best results, a series is needed to treat the skin or hair at its various stages of cellular regeneration and growth. Optimal results may be visible 3 – 5 months out if you do a series of treatments 4 – 6 weeks apart.

The number of treatments required varies based on individual goals and the treatment area. On average, most find benefit in undergoing approximately 3 – 10 sessions every 4 – 6 weeks, with potential improvements noticeable even after the initial session. How well aftercare is maintained is a major factor in how long results may last. Annual or bi-annual touch-ups may be necessary for maintenance.
