Essential Treatment Information
Venus Versa™ IPL uses broad-spectrum light pulses to target the melanin in hair follicles. The light is absorbed and converted to heat, disabling the follicle’s ability to grow hair. The device’s built-in cooling system ensures patient comfort throughout the session. Treatment duration ranges from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. Multiple sessions are needed to target hair during its active growth phase.
Perfect for individuals with unwanted hair on the face or body seeking reduction. Best for light to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-IV); darker skin tones (V-VI) require a test patch due to pigmentation risks. Not suitable for those with active skin conditions or recent surgeries—consult our team.
