Our DYE VL utilizes two types of technologies. The first is IN-Motion technology which helps to mitigate unwanted side effects while maximizing the patients comfort level. The second is IPL. Most IPL or intense pulsed light treatments use stationary or stamping techniques during treatment. The IN-Motion movement with our laser allows the technician to achieve those same results with continuous motion which gives the patient a more pleasant experience.
