Fight Sun and Age-Related Damage with the Power of Light with Venus Versa™ Photo Rejuvenation Treatments!
Whether it is from rays of the sun or the stress of time and aging, damage accumulates deep within the tissues of the skin. Many of the undesired changes that we notice on our faces are triggered by either natural ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or artificial UV rays from tanning beds/booths. Venus Versa Photo Rejuvenation is a powerful, highly effective Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment that harnesses the power of light to reverse these effects of sun damage and photoaging, as well as the natural aging process.
THE BENEFITS
Benefits of IPL Treatment with Venus Versa™
Venus Versa™ is a powerful, highly effective Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) skin treatment that harnesses the power of light to reverse these effects of sun damage, as well as the natural aging process.
Known as “photoaging,” we often see sun damage in the form of:
- Irregular pigmentation problems on the hands, arms, face, chest, and shoulders
- Sun spots, liver spots, age spots, and brown spots
- Melasma (patches of darkened skin)
- Rough, uneven skin tone and texture
- Spider veins, broken or dilated capillaries, and/or rosacea
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
A typical IPL session with Venus Versa™ usually takes about 15-20 minutes, and because the treatment is non-invasive and non-ablative, you can return to your normal activities immediately with no downtime! Some patients will experience temporary facial redness which may last up to an hour after the treatment. You will see some reduction in pigmentation problems immediately after your first treatment, and for individuals with minor brown spots and small vascular abnormalities like spider veins, one or two treatments may be all that is required. Most patients, however, require a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced about three weeks apart, for optimal results.
Is Venus Versa IPL safe for all skin tones?
Venus Versa™ photo facial treatments are powered by Intense Pulsed Light technology, which targets the pigment in your skin. They tend to work best for light to medium skin tones. The treatment may work on darker skin, but there is a higher risk of discoloration because darker skin has more pigment in it. It’s best to consult with your treatment provider to see if the treatment is right for you.
Is there downtime after treatments?
The Venus Versa IPL treatments are non-invasive and non-ablative. You may return to your normal activities immediately with no downtime. Some patients may experience temporary redness which may last up to a few hours after treatment. Makeup may be worn after treatment if desired.
How many sessions will I need?
Individuals with minor brown spots and small vascular abnormalities may see results immediately after their first treatment. Most patients, however, require a series of 4-6 treatments spaced about 3 weeks apart for optimal results. A touch-up session is recommended every 3-6 months depending on the skin’s response to the treatment.
How long is each session?
An average Venus Versa IPL session lasts about 15-45 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
ADMINISTRATION
The state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light treatment delivered by Venus Versa™ is designed to deliver strong and precise infrared light throughout the sensitive tissues of the skin. Each treatment is custom-tailored to deliver the light at various depths to treat your specific concerns at their source. The light restores and rejuvenates dead and damaged skin cells at the molecular level, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, reducing wrinkles and pigmentation projects, and improving your skin’s overall tone and texture. Venus Versa™’s revolutionary, built-in cooling system ensures that it delivers safe, comfortable, highly effective rejuvenation over larger areas of the skin while avoiding unnecessary damage to the surface of the skin.
SAFETY
IPL treatments utilize safe infrared light (as opposed to UV light) to improve and enhance the color, tone, texture, and condition of your skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin deep within the tissues of the skin.
IPL broad spectrum light source prevents burns and hyperpigmentation issues frequently seen with laser therapy.
