BOOK A CONSULTATIONOne of the goals of the Venus Versa IPL treatment is to reduce the appearance of dark spots. It also helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production.
The Venus Versa device is not a laser. It works by sending intense pulsed light, or IPL, to the treated areas.
We are aiming for firmer, smoother skin with a more even complexion and less dilated skin pores. Two to five treatments are recommended at a 4-weeks interval for optimal before and after results.
The Venus Versa IPL device has a tip that sends intense pulsed light to the face to reduce the appearance of dark spots. This is a non-invasive technique.
The use of anesthetic cream is recommended one hour before the IPL Venus Versa treatment to reduce discomfort.
The duration of an IPL Venus Versa treatment varies between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area.
The effects of an IPL Venus Versa treatment last between 4 and 12 months, depending on the type of skin to be treated. It is recommended to do 1 to 3 treatments per year to maintain the results. Prices vary depending on the treated area.
Most of the time, recovery from an IPL Venus Versa treatment occurs within 3 to 7 days of the procedure, depending on the type of skin to be treated.
