VPL™ Advantage

Why is there no direct cooling of the skin?

Because of the Ultra VPL™ micro pulsing effect, there is less overall heat rise in the skin, and therefore less need for pre-cooling. In a minority of clients with hypersensitive skin, a degree of cooling may be applied to minimize discomfort, and this can be achieved simply by keeping your gel in the refrigerator. The main impact of direct cooling is that the target structure starts from a lower temperature base, so you need to apply higher pulse energy to achieve the same effect. There is no clinical evidence that this protects the skin better, or provides a more effective result. Direct water-cooling prevents the applicator from becoming hot during treatment, so the starting temperature of the skin is well controlled even during the longest procedures giving very consistent results.
