Energist VPL (IPL)

The science behind VPL
The power and flexibility provided by VPL lies in the fact that it is able to use 840 different pulse variations and energy output levels reaching over 50J/cm2. These easily adjustable settings allow doctors to vary the pulse delivery from patient to patient. This allows for maximal comfort and optimal clinical results.

How does it work?
With the advance in technology, pulsed light, and in particular variable pulse light can regularly produce better results than laser. Each light pulse comprises a sequence of rapid shorter pulses. These variable pulses (hence its name), ensures more controlled absorption whilst minimizing heating of the surrounding skin. This means that a greater range of hair and skin types can be safely and effectively treated than was previously possible.
What can VPL be used for?
01 Sun & Age Spots (Skin Rejuvenating)
  These conditions usually appear in later years and are caused by an excess amount of melanin.
  Melanin absorbs the light energy from Energist VPL and heats up quickly, whilst the surrounding skin remains cool. The heat causes melanin to break up into smaller particles that are then removed by the body’s natural waste processes, living skin clear and smooth.
   
02 Thread veins, spider naevi and cherry spots
  Conditions where small veins become visible on the skin’s surface.
  Light energy is absorbed by the blood vessels that make up these imperfections. This absorption process breaks down the vessel walls.
  Effective Energist VPL treatment allow the body to recognize these broken vessels as waste and removes them naturally.
   
03 Wrinkles and fine lines
  Collagen is the substance in our bodies that keeps our skin looking youthful and smooth. As we age, our bodies naturally produce less and less collagen, resulting in the appearance of the fine lines and wrinkles.
  The light from Energist VPL stimulates cells in the body called fibroblasts to produce more collagen. The new collagen moves outwards to the skin’s surface resulting in a smoother texture, smaller pore size and reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
   
04 Acne scarring
  Acne is caused by excess sebum, an oil naturally produced by the body which clogs up pores and causes irritation. Over long periods this can also result in acne scarring.
  Energist VPL improves both active acne and acne scarring by destroying the bacteria that cause the irritation. Acne is healed significantly following a course of treatment and skin texture and tone is improved as the Energist VPL initiates further collagen production.
   
05 VPL for acne treatment
  For acne, the wavelength employed by Energist VPL contributes to the destruction of acne-causing bacteria Proprionibacterium Acnes.
  With Energist VPL, both short (and potentially harmful) UV wavelengths and longer IR wavelengths (which might cause excessive tissue heating) are filtered out and an appropriate selection of micro-pulses in a longer pulse train ensures precisely dosed energy is delivered to target endogenous chromophores and provide optimum effectiveness in stimulating the body’s own immune system response.
  The major advantages of Energist VPL are that it is safe, virtually painless and has none of the adverse effects associated with more invasive methods.
   
06 Hair removal and permanent hair reduction
  Energist VPL treatment has been clinically proven to remove hair from all parts of the face and body.
  Pulses of red light are absorbed by melanin, the pigment found in hairs. This absorption heats up the hair, damaging the follicle, along with its ability to regenerate.
  Hundreds of hair follicles are damaged with each pulse, resulting in an easy and effective way to treat unwanted hair.
