DPL Photo Facial
The "Photoshop" Effect for Redness, Spots, and Dullness
DPL (Dynamic Pulsed Light) is a revolutionary advancement in IPL technology. By concentrating light energy into a narrow 100nm 'Gold Spectrum', it precisely targets redness and pigmentation for faster, safer, and more brilliant results than traditional photo facials.
Precision IPL Revolution
DPL Photo Facial uses broad-spectrum light to refresh skin tone, reduce sunspots, redness, and uneven pigmentation, improving skin clarity and texture with minimal downtime.

Common Questions
Is DPL painful?+
No. Unlike traditional IPL which can feel like a hot rubber band snapping against your skin, DPL uses a 'sliding' technique with lower energy per pulse but higher frequency. This gradually heats the skin, making it feel like a warm massage.
What is the downtime?+
There is virtually no downtime. You might be slightly pink for 1-2 hours, like a mild workout flush. You can wear makeup and return to work immediately.
How many sessions do I need?+
For general brightening, 1 session gives a nice glow. For correcting specific issues like rosacea or heavy pigmentation, we typically recommend a course of 3-6 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
DPL vs. Laser (e.g., PicoWay)? Which one do I need?+
PicoWay is a photo-acoustic laser best for stubborn pigment and tattoo removal. DPL is a photo-thermal light best for general tone improvement, redness, and superficial spots. Often, we use them together: DPL for the 'background' tone/redness, and PicoWay for the specific dark spots.
Is it safe for darker skin?+
Yes, DPL is safer than old IPL for Asian skin. Because it filters out the 'stray light' that usually causes burns or hyperpigmentation, it allows us to treat effectively with much lower risk.
Can DPL be combined with other treatments?+
Yes. DPL is often combined with PicoWay for a comprehensive 'Pigment & Redness' clearance plan. We create personalized combination protocols during consultation based on your skin concerns.
