DPL * Dynamic Pulsed Light
Here is your Guide to DPL, a new wonderful skin rejuvenation treatment added to a Dermaplaning with Hydrafacial.
At The Gua Sha Facial Co., I specialize in advanced, non-invasive skin treatments designed to improve clarity, brightness, and overall skin health.
One of my most popular treatments is DPL Skin Rejuvenation — a gentle light-based therapy that helps reduce redness, refine texture, and promote a smoother, more even complexion.
For better results, this treatment is added to a Dermaplaning with Hydrafacial.

What skin concerns can DPL treat?
DPL (Dynamic Pulsed Light) is highly effective in improving a range of visible skin concerns. It works by delivering controlled light energy into the skin to help support skin regeneration and a clearer, more balanced complexion.
DPL may target:
-
Pigmentation and uneven skin tone (Diminishes the dark spots)
-
Post-inflammatory acne marks
-
Redness or flushed skin appearance (Rosacea and/or Enlarged capillaries)
-
Mild scarring
-
Visible pores and uneven texture
-
Fine lines and early signs of aging
-
Stimulating collagen and elastin
The result is smoother, brighter, and more refined-looking skin.
Is DPL suitable for my skin type?
DPL treatment is generally suitable for all skin types.
However:
-
Dry or dehydrated skin may experience temporary dryness or a mild peeling following treatment.
PRO TIPS:
I recommend pairing DPL with a Dermaplaning with Hydrafacial to prep the skin, deeply hydrate with the Hydrafacial, then add the DPL treatment. I follow with:
A cold hydrating sheet mask post-treatment. This can help cool the skin as well as add more hydration.
This helps maintain comfort and support recovery.
** DO NOT use any type of Retinol products 48 hours before the treatment. It makes the skin too dry and will make it VERY sensitive to the treatment.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
Lasting improvement usually occurs gradually across a series of treatments. You can add the DPL with a monthly Dermaplaning/Hydrafacial treatment.
Some clients notice a brighter, more even skin tone, after the first treatment.
**Keep in mind though... Your skin may be red for a few hours up to 24 hours after the treatment.
You can do the Dermaplaning with Hydrafacial PLUS DPL treatment, once every 4 weeks, if needed.
Consistency is the key.
Is DPL treatment painful?
DPL is generally very comfortable and non-invasive.
You may feel a gentle warmth during treatment. But with the new technology, with the cooling system, you may not feel any warmth. It may feel 'cold' to you.
If the light passes near moles, broken skin, or active irritation, you may feel a little heat. I will always try to avoid these zones and adjust settings for your comfort. Always let me know if you feel any sensitivity — I will tailor the treatment to your skin in real time.
What is the downtime after DPL?
There is minimal to no downtime.
Most clients return to normal activities immediately.
You may experience:
-
Mild warmth
-
Light dryness
-
Temporary sensitivity
-
Redness (Like a sunburn)
These effects usually settle within a few hours, but can last up to 24 hours, depending on the sensitivity of your skin.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as:
-
Redness
-
Temporary darkening of pigmentation (a normal part of the fading process)
-
Light dryness or tightness
-
Temporary skin sensitivity
VERY rare effects may include swelling or blistering.
What do I do for After Care?
**I will give you an After Care guide to take home.
It's very simple.
Stay Hydrated.
Avoid direct sunlight for a few days.
Use a gentle cleanser.
Use sun screen.
Keep your face moisturized.
Avoid shower, saunas and intense workouts for 24 hours.
