Iris Dye-VL

What is Iris Dye-VL?

The Iris Dye-VL is an advanced light-based treatment from Alma that uses Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) to deliver precise, narrowband pulses of light in the 500–600nm wavelength range. Unlike traditional IPL, this technology converts light into a uniform and stable beam that selectively targets the two primary chromophores responsible for skin discoloration: melanin and hemoglobin.

By precisely targeting melanin, the treatment breaks down pigmented lesions such as sun spots, age spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation. By targeting hemoglobin in abnormal blood vessels, it effectively reduces vascular concerns, including rosacea, redness, broken capillaries, and spider veins, all without harming the surrounding healthy tissue.

What are the Benefits of Iris Dye-VL?

With Iris Dye-VL treatment, you can look forward to the following benefits:

• More youthful appearance: Iris Dye-VL targets age spots, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and vascular imperfections to reveal a clearer, more radiant complexion.
• Boost in confidence: Once patients see their rejuvenated, even-toned skin, they also notice a boost in confidence and self-esteem.
• Versatile treatment: Iris Dye-VL addresses both pigmentation and vascular concerns in a single treatment, from sun spots and hyperpigmentation to rosacea and broken capillaries.
• Minimal discomfort: Thanks to its built-in contact cooling and precise light delivery, the treatment is virtually painless. Most patients describe only a mild warming sensation.

The Iris Dye-VL Procedure

To begin your Iris Dye-VL treatment, we’ll cleanse the treatment area and provide you with protective eyewear. The built-in contact cooling on the handpiece helps keep the treatment comfortable throughout. Dr. Hassanzadeh will then use the Iris Dye-VL handpiece to deliver precise pulses of light energy to the targeted areas.

Treatment is quick with no downtime required. The number of sessions you need will depend on your specific concerns and goals, though optimal results are typically achieved after 2–3 treatments.

Iris Dye-VL Recovery

There is virtually no downtime with Iris Dye-VL. You can return to your normal routine immediately after treatment. Mild redness or slight swelling may occur but typically subsides within a few hours. You may start noticing improvements after your very first session, with skin becoming progressively more even-toned and radiant over the following treatments. You will want to apply sunscreen regularly to protect your skin while it heals.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for Iris Dye-VL are individuals in generally good health who are dealing with pigmentation concerns such as sun spots, age spots, freckles, melasma, or hyperpigmentation, or vascular concerns such as rosacea, redness, broken capillaries, or spider veins. The treatment is suitable for a range of skin types, though a consultation with Dr. Hassanzadeh is recommended to confirm your suitability.
