DYE VL Laser treatment is a targeted light-based therapy designed to address visible redness, vascular changes and uneven pigmentation within the skin. Unlike resurfacing lasers that focus on skin texture, DYE VL technology works by selectively targeting colour-based concerns beneath the skin’s surface, supporting clearer and more even-looking skin over time.
At Dr Queenie Chan’s Clinic in Albury Wodonga, DYE VL Laser treatment is delivered following a thorough skin assessment and individualised planning process. Each treatment is selected based on skin characteristics, underlying concerns and tolerance levels, ensuring suitability and safety are prioritised throughout care.
What Is DYE VL Laser Treatment?
DYE-VL is considered the gold-standard laser treatment, combining the proven benefits of pulsed dye laser technology with advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
The DYE-VL laser uses variable-wavelength light to precisely target haemoglobin and melanin in the skin. This enables effective treatment of vascular and pigment-related concerns while minimising impact on the surrounding healthy tissue.
By delivering controlled light energy to specific chromophores in the skin, DYE VL Laser treatment supports gradual fading of redness, visible capillaries and pigmentation irregularities. Changes develop progressively as treated vessels and pigment are naturally processed by the body.
Areas That Can Be Treated
DYE VL Laser treatment can be used on areas where redness, visible blood vessels or proven pigmentation concerns are present. Treatment suitability is assessed based on skin thickness, sensitivity and colour distribution.
Commonly treated areas include:
- The face, particularly the cheeks, nose and chin, where redness and capillaries are more common
- The neck and décolletage affected by sun exposure and vascular changes
- The hands, where pigmentation and redness may be visible
- Selected body areas with localised vascular or pigment concerns
What Can DYE VL Laser Treatment Address?
DYE VL Laser treatment is commonly selected for skin concerns related to vascular changes and pigment imbalance rather than surface texture alone. The focus is on targeting underlying colour irregularities in a controlled and precise way.
This treatment may be considered for:
- Facial redness and flushing
- Visible capillaries and broken blood vessels
- Vascular lesions
- Pigmentation caused by sun exposure
- Uneven skin tone related to vascular or pigment changes
- Redness associated with rosacea-prone skin
Benefits of DYE VL Laser Treatment
DYE VL Laser treatment offers a targeted approach to managing redness and pigmentation concerns, with treatment parameters adjusted to individual skin needs.
Potential benefits include:
- Selective targeting of vascular and pigment-related concerns
- Support for a more even skin tone over time
- Treatment settings customised to skin type and sensitivity
- Non-surgical management of redness and pigmentation
- Treatment delivered under clinical supervision
- Minimal disruption to surrounding skin structures

Is DYE VL Laser Treatment Suitable for Me?
DYE VL Laser treatment may be suitable for individuals seeking management of redness, visible vessels or pigmentation irregularities. It is often chosen by those who experience persistent redness or vascular changes that do not respond to topical skincare alone.
A comprehensive consultation is essential to assess skin type, medical history and suitability. Certain skin tones or conditions may require alternative approaches or adjusted treatment settings to minimise the risk of pigment changes.
How DYE VL Laser Treatment Works
DYE VL Laser treatment works by delivering specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by targeted colour components within the skin. When absorbed, this energy gently heats the targeted structures, allowing the body to gradually clear them through natural processes.
As DYE VL Laser treatment is selective rather than ablative, it does not remove layers of skin. Instead, it focuses on treating colour irregularities beneath the surface while maintaining overall skin integrity. Treatment settings are selected based on the concern being addressed, skin tone and treatment area.
DYE VL Laser Treatment at Dr Queenie Chan’s Clinic
Consultation
Every DYE VL Laser treatment begins with a detailed skin consultation. During this appointment, skin concerns, medical history and previous treatments are reviewed to determine whether DYE VL Laser treatment is appropriate and how it should be delivered.
Treatment Process
Before treatment, the skin is cleansed and prepared. Protective eyewear is provided, and the laser handpiece is applied to the treatment area using carefully selected parameters. Treatment sessions typically last between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated.
Results Over Time
Skin changes develop progressively following DYE VL Laser treatment. Redness, vascular visibility and pigmentation may gradually reduce over the weeks following treatment as the skin responds. Some individuals may require a series of treatments to achieve optimal management of their concerns.
Recovery and Aftercare
Mild redness or warmth may occur following treatment and typically settles within a short period. A personalised aftercare plan is provided, including guidance on sun protection and skincare. Most individuals are able to return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Possible Risks and Side Effects
Temporary effects may occur as part of the skin’s response.
These may include:
- Mild redness or warmth
- Temporary skin sensitivity
- Transient pigment changes in treated areas
Less commonly, prolonged redness or pigment alteration may occur, particularly in higher-risk skin types. Thorough assessment and appropriate treatment planning are essential in reducing these risks.
Cost of DYE VL Laser Treatment
The cost of DYE VL Laser treatment varies depending on the treatment area, the extent of concerns being addressed and the number of sessions recommended. A personalised treatment plan and cost estimate are provided during consultation.

FAQs
Is DYE VL laser suitable for sensitive skin?
DYE VL laser can be suitable for sensitive skin when treatment settings are carefully selected and adjusted. A consultation is essential to assess skin reactivity and determine whether modifications or alternative options are more appropriate.
Can DYE VL laser be combined with other skin treatments?
DYE VL laser treatment may be incorporated into a broader skin management plan alongside other modalities, depending on skin concerns and timing. Treatment sequencing is planned carefully to support skin tolerance and recovery.
How long should I wait between DYE VL laser sessions?
Treatment intervals vary based on the area treated, skin response and the concern being managed. Sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to settle and respond before further treatment.
Are results from DYE VL laser permanent?
Some treated vessels or pigment changes may not return once cleared. However, new redness or pigmentation can develop over time due to sun exposure or skin changes. Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on individual skin behaviour.
What should be avoided after DYE VL laser treatment?
After DYE VL laser treatment, sun exposure, heat-based activities and active skincare products are usually restricted for a short period. Specific aftercare instructions are provided to support skin recovery and reduce the risk of pigment changes.
