Iris DyeVL

Iris DyeVL is a targeted light-based treatment available through House of Youthful Skin’s clinic partnership with Esteem Life in Glasgow.

Using the Alma Harmony platform, DyeVL delivers narrow-band intense pulsed light to selected areas of pigmentation and vascular redness.

It may be considered for concerns such as sun spots, superficial pigmentation, uneven-looking tone, persistent facial redness and visible small blood vessels.

Unlike resurfacing treatments such as Hybrid CO2 Laser, DyeVL is designed to target colour within the skin rather than remove or resurface the skin surface.

A consultation is important because not every pigmented or vascular concern is appropriate for IPL. The clinician will assess the nature of the concern before treatment and determine whether DyeVL is suitable.

Iris DyeVL uses controlled bands of intense pulsed light delivered through the Alma Harmony platform.

The light energy is absorbed by selected pigment or blood-vessel targets within the skin. This produces controlled heat within those targets while integrated cooling helps support skin comfort during treatment.

For pigmentation, treatment is designed to target excess visible pigment. For vascular concerns, the light is absorbed by blood within selected vessels, helping reduce their visible appearance over time.

DyeVL is a light-based treatment rather than an ablative resurfacing procedure, so its role is different from treatments such as Hybrid CO2 Laser.

Treatment settings are selected by the clinician according to skin type, the concern being treated and the results of the consultation.

Iris DyeVL may be considered for clients concerned about selected superficial pigmentation, sun spots, uneven-looking tone, persistent facial redness or visible small vessels.

A consultation is required because not every pigmented or vascular lesion is appropriate for IPL treatment.

The clinician will assess your skin type, medical history, current medications, recent sun exposure or tanning and previous procedures before making a recommendation.

Treatment may need to be postponed or may not be appropriate where there is recent tanning, significant photosensitivity, certain medications, active infection or an undiagnosed skin lesion.

Suspicious, changing or unexplained pigmented lesions should be medically assessed rather than treated cosmetically.

If DyeVL is not considered the most appropriate route, alternative treatment or medical assessment may be recommended.
