How Does a Viora Photo Facial Work?
The science behind Viora’s IPL technology is what sets it apart. During your session, a handheld device emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin’s layers. This light is absorbed by pigments (like melanin in dark spots or hemoglobin in blood vessels) and converted into heat, which breaks down the targeted pigment or vessel.
Simultaneously, the light energy stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. This results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.
What to Expect During Your Photo Facial
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin concerns and create a customized treatment plan. During the session:
- Preparation: The targeted area is cleansed, and a cooling gel is applied to enhance comfort and effectiveness.
- Treatment: The Viora IPL device delivers precise pulses of light to the skin. You may feel a mild warming or tingling sensation, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the session, your skin may appear slightly red or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours.
Most sessions last between 30 to 60 minutes, making them convenient for those with busy schedules.
