About Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Technology for Home Use

VISS IPL utilises a light technology originally used only by professional beauticians at beauty salons.  VISS IPL utilises the same IPL technology, but adapted for home use.

VISS IPL features interchangeable lamp cartridges that enable you to perform a variety of beauty treatments at home.  You can use your VISS IPL effectively and safely for acne treatment as well as hair removal at home by simply changing lamp cartridges, thus offering versatility, flexibility and value.

Acne and IPL Acne Care

Acne most commonly develops when skin cells do not shed properly. Skin cells stick together and plug up the pores around the hair follicles. The blockage encourages the sebum produced by sebaceous glands and P. acnes bacteria to flourish in the skin pores, leading to formation of pimples, blemishes and redness and inflamed skin patches.

You can perform acne care treatment with your VISS IPL on your face and body, where spots and blemishes are found.

The VISS IPL Acne Care lamp allows you to effectively treat acne at home, using professional IPL technology. The acne lamp delivers 300 - 700 nm wavelengths, a specific wave length range that inhibits the production of common acne causing bacteria, thus helping to clear bacteria-clogged pores without application of medicated preparations or ingestion of drugs. The process is pain free and there is no downtime. The IPL Acne Care lamp delivers an effective and safe light-based therapeutic modality that is revolutionizing the treatment of acne.

The secret of VISS IPL success lies in advanced filter technology that delivers optimally filtered wavelengths of pulsed light into the skin layers for outstanding results. The best part is that professional treatments in your home are now as simple as 'point and click'. The VISS IPL treatments are gentle and convenient and produce excellent results in the privacy of your own home.

How does VISS IPL Acne Care Treatment work?

VISS IPL utilizes the power of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to treat acne and related skin problems. The IPL treatment also stimulates new collagen production beneath the skin surface, which tightens and firms the skin and shrinks large pores.

VISS IPL technology works by directing controlled pulses of light into the upper skin layer. The light is absorbed by the pigment melanin in the pigmented areas of the skin and the haemoglobin in the blood.

For Acne clearance, VISS IPL works in two ways:

1.    by reducing the blood supply to the sebaceous gland, which in turn slows down production of the sebum

2.    by destroying acne bacteria (P. acnes) that blocks the pores
The visible light emitted by the VISS IPL System is carefully controlled to produce the correct pulse length and right amount of energy to destroy the cellular targets without damaging surrounding healthy tissues.

Using VISS IPL for Acne Treatment

For many people, using VISS IPL may be their first experience with a light-based device designed for self-treatment.

Before using the VISS IPL device read the entire user manual very carefully.

Ensure that you have fitted optionally purchased Acne Care Lamp Cartridge into the treatment wand of the VISS IPL device.

To prepare for treatment, you must apply the VISS IPL Pre-treatment Conductive Gel as this prepares the skin for the IPL treatment and enhances outcomes.

IPL Acne Treatment 'step by step' guidance

• Clean and clear the treatment area, removing all traces and residues of cosmetic products and makeup.
• To prepare for treatment, you must apply the VISS IPL Pre-treatment Conductive Gel. This Gel prepares the skin for the IPL treatment and enhances outcomes.
• Put on the Safety Glasses.

• Each flash treats a skin area of 6 cm square (3 cm x 2 cm).
• During the flash, you will feel a warm sensation and gentle tingling. When treating more sensitive skin areas, this sensation may be similar to a warm rubber band being snapped against the skin.

Please note that the IPL Post Treatment Gel is the same as you apply after hair removal treatments.
