V-ST Non-Fractional Radiofrequency

V-ST is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to improve skin firmness, tightening and overall skin quality.

The treatment delivers controlled RF energy into the skin, creating heat within the deeper layers. This stimulates collagen remodelling and can help improve the appearance of fine lines, skin laxity and loss of firmness.

V-ST is particularly useful for delicate facial areas where a gentle, non-invasive approach is preferred, including around the eyes and lips, subject to individual assessment.

V-FR Fractional Radiofrequency

V-FR is an advanced fractional radiofrequency treatment for skin resurfacing, rejuvenation, texture and acne scars.

Unlike non-fractional RF, fractional RF delivers energy in a controlled fractional pattern, creating tiny treatment zones within the skin while leaving surrounding tissue untreated. The V-FR handpiece combines fractional bipolar RF with switching, vacuum and cooling technology.

V-FR can be used to improve:

• Acne scars
• Uneven skin texture
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Skin tone
• Enlarged-looking pores
• Signs of ageing
• Overall skin rejuvenation

V-IPL – Intense Pulsed Light

IPL uses carefully selected wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns such as pigmentation, sun damage and redness.

The V-IPL handpiece uses adjustable filters and light energy to target different chromophores in the skin.

IPL may be suitable for improving the appearance of:

• Sun damage
• Pigmentation and brown spots
• Uneven skin tone
• Redness
• Superficial vascular concerns
• Overall skin brightness and clarity

A consultation is essential to determine whether IPL is appropriate for your skin type and concern.

Each V-SERIES treatment works differently depending on the handpiece selected.

V-ST RF: Controlled radiofrequency energy gently heats the skin, encouraging collagen remodelling and helping the skin appear firmer, smoother and more toned.

V-FR fractional RF: Fractional RF energy creates controlled microscopic treatment zones within the skin. This stimulates the skin’s natural repair and remodelling processes and can improve texture, scarring and signs of ageing.

V-IPL: Light energy is absorbed by selected targets within the skin, such as melanin or haemoglobin. This can help reduce the visible appearance of pigmentation and redness and improve overall skin tone.

Your practitioner will select the most appropriate technology and settings following a consultation and skin assessment.

The number of treatments depends on your skin condition, treatment area, skin type and the results you want to achieve.

As a general guide:

V-ST RF

A course of 3–6 treatments may be recommended, usually spaced several weeks apart. Some clients may notice an improvement after their first treatment, while collagen remodelling continues over time.

V-FR Fractional RF

A course of approximately 3 treatments, typically spaced around 4–6 weeks apart, may be recommended for skin texture, rejuvenation and acne scarring. More treatments may be advised for deeper or more established scars.

IPL

A course of approximately 3–5 IPL treatments, usually several weeks apart, may be recommended for pigmentation, sun damage, redness or overall skin rejuvenation.

Your practitioner will create an individual treatment plan rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Results vary from person to person and depend on your age, lifestyle, skin condition and how well you protect your skin from environmental damage.

RF treatments encourage collagen remodelling, so results can continue to develop after treatment.

IPL can produce a clearer and more even-looking complexion, particularly when a course of treatments is completed. However, new pigmentation and signs of sun damage can develop over time.

V-SERIES treatments are designed to improve the appearance and quality of the skin, rather than permanently stopping the natural ageing process.

Maintenance treatments can help preserve your results.

After V-ST RF

A maintenance treatment may be considered approximately every 3–6 months, depending on your skin and individual response.

After V-FR Fractional RF

Once your initial course is complete, a maintenance treatment approximately every 6–12 months may be considered, depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals.

After IPL

Maintenance IPL treatments may be recommended approximately every 6–12 months, particularly for clients prone to pigmentation, sun damage or redness.

These are general guidelines rather than fixed treatment schedules. Your practitioner will advise you on the most appropriate maintenance programme for your skin.

Most clients find V-SERIES treatments manageable and well tolerated.

V-ST RF generally feels like a controlled, comfortable warmth as the RF energy heats the skin.

V-FR fractional RF may feel warmer or more intense because it is a resurfacing treatment. The V-FR system incorporates cooling and vacuum technology designed to improve treatment comfort.

IPL can feel like a quick snapping or warm sensation on the skin. Comfort levels vary depending on the treatment area and individual sensitivity.

Your practitioner will adjust the treatment parameters according to your skin and comfort level.

V-SERIES treatments are generally well tolerated when performed appropriately, but temporary side effects can occur.

Depending on the treatment, these may include:

• Temporary redness
• Warmth or sensitivity
• Mild swelling
• Temporary skin sensitivity
• Temporary darkening of pigmentation after IPL
• Mild peeling or flaking following fractional RF
• Temporary tenderness
• Changes in pigmentation in some individuals

More significant complications are possible with energy-based treatments, particularly when inappropriate settings are used or when treatment is performed on unsuitable skin.

A full consultation and skin assessment should therefore be completed before treatment.

Follow your practitioner’s aftercare instructions carefully and use appropriate broad-spectrum SPF following treatment.

V-ST may be suitable for adults who are concerned about:

• Mild to moderate skin laxity
• Fine lines
• Loss of firmness
• Early signs of ageing
• Skin around the eyes
• Lines around the lips
• Overall skin rejuvenation

It may be particularly attractive to clients looking for a non-invasive skin tightening treatment with little to no downtime.

Suitability will always be assessed during your consultation.

V-FR may be suitable for clients wanting to improve:

• Acne scars
• Uneven skin texture
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged-looking pores
• Skin tone
• Skin firmness
• Overall skin rejuvenation

V-FR is especially useful when the main concern is skin texture and resurfacing, rather than pigmentation alone. The V-SERIES manufacturer specifically indicates V-FR for skin texture, tone and acne scar clearance.

IPL may be suitable for clients concerned about:

• Sun damage
• Pigmentation
• Brown spots
• Uneven skin tone
• Redness
• Superficial vascular concerns
• Dull or tired-looking skin

IPL is not suitable for everyone. Your skin type, tanning history, medications, pigmentation and current skin condition should be assessed before treatment.

Our V-SERIES treatments are individually tailored to your treatment area and skin concerns.

A consultation will help determine which treatment is most appropriate for your skin and whether V-ST, V-FR, IPL or a combination approach would be most beneficial
