DPC Laser Skin Rejuvenation in Toronto, ON
Reverse the Signs of Aging and Restore Healthy-Looking Skin
Aging skin reflects years of sun exposure, environmental stress, and the passage of time. You may have noticed new pigmentation, deepened fine lines, or texture changes that haven’t responded to topical treatments. You’re not alone, and you have options. At Vertex Aesthetics, we recognize that skin aging is complex and personal.
Everyone’s skin has a unique history, with different sun-damage patterns, collagen loss, vascular changes, and pigmentation concerns. That’s why we don’t use one-size-fits-all approaches. We begin with a comprehensive skin assessment using advanced diagnostic tools to understand exactly what your skin needs.
DPC (Dynamic Pulse Control) laser skin rejuvenation is a breakthrough in non-invasive skin restoration. This SharpLight™ technology simultaneously addresses three core elements of aging skin: vascular concerns, pigmentation irregularities, and textural changes. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge and a customized skin program that makes you confident in your skincare decisions. When you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, you can approach your skin health as an informed partner in the process.

- Treats multiple concerns at once: sun damage, pigmentation, vascular lesions, and texture
- Stimulates natural collagen production for lasting improvement from within
- Visible results immediately, with continued improvement over time
- Safe for all skin types (I-V) using customized treatment parameters
- Targets stubborn concerns like sun spots, melasma, and uneven pigmentation

Sun damage and age spots that are resistant to topical treatments or peels
Uneven pigmentation and mottled skin tone that creates a dull, aged appearance
Fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness from collagen depletion and environmental aging
Visible blood vessels and telangiectasias, especially around the nose and cheeks
Rosacea-related redness causing flushing and uneven tone
Enlarged pores and rough texture from sun damage or acne scarring
Aging concerns on the face, neck, chest, and hands from cumulative sun exposure
Surface-level treatments might temporarily mask aging signs, but without addressing what’s happening beneath your skin, results remain short-lived. Aging skin involves three interconnected processes: collagen breakdown, vascular changes, and pigmentation irregularities. Understanding these mechanisms empowers you to make informed decisions about treatments that create lasting change.
Here are some common factors that can accelerate skin aging and damage:
- Chronic Sun Exposure
- Environmental Pollution
- Natural Collagen Decline
- Hormonal Changes
- Vascular Changes
- Genetic Factors
- Lifestyle Habits
- Complete the digital consultation form emailed to you after your Discovery Call to share your health history and skincare routine
- Avoid exfoliants (scrubs, chemical peels, dermaplaning) for 3-5 days before treatment
- Stop active ingredients, including retinol, retinoids, and prescription actives, for 5-7 days prior
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning (sun, beds, self-tanners) for at least 2 weeks beforehand
- Use SPF 30+ daily, protected skin responds better and heals more effectively
- Arrive 5-10 minutes early to settle in comfortably before your session
- Bring a list of medications and supplements to review with your provider
- Reapply a minimum of SPF 30+ every 2 hours when exposed to daylight, this protects your results and healing skin
- Treated areas will darken within 24-48 hours, this is normal and indicates the treatment is working
- Let darkened spots naturally exfoliate over 1-2 weeks; avoid picking or scratching
- Avoid heat activities (intense exercise, hot yoga, saunas, hot showers) for 24-48 hours
- Skip active ingredients (retinols, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C) for 3-5 days or until redness subsides
- Hydrate with gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers and avoid irritating products
- Expect minimal downtime, temporary redness, or darkened spots in the first week, which can be covered with makeup
- Follow your personalized aftercare plan provided based on your skin program and skin response
At Vertex Aesthetics, we assess before we treat. The best choice depends on your specific concerns, skin type, and goals, which is why we always start with a comprehensive assessment before recommending a skin program. Some patients benefit most from DPC alone, while others see optimal results from combination therapy.
Our DPC technology offers three pulse configurations, and we adjust every setting based on your unique skin type, concern depth, and sensitivity. We customize every parameter. There’s a methodology for combining these parameters that ensures you’re getting precisely what your skin needs.
You’ll understand the science behind your results and gain knowledge that extends far beyond your appointments, empowering you to make confident skincare decisions for years to come. We make you the expert.

FAQs
We hear this often. The difference is in how we approach your care. Many treatments fail because the diagnosis wasn’t accurate or the settings weren’t customized to your skin. We assess before we treat, and our DPC technology gives us the flexibility to adjust parameters specifically for you, not use generic settings like everyone else gets.
Most patients describe a brief, warm snapping sensation, very tolerable and quick. Each pulse lasts milliseconds. Numbing isn’t typically needed, but we’re happy to discuss comfort options if you’re concerned about sensitivity.
There isn’t any. You might have temporary redness for a few hours, and treated pigmented areas will darken before naturally exfoliating over 1-2 weeks. You can return to work and social activities immediately, avoid intense heat for 24-48 hours, and protect your skin with SPF. Many patients come in during lunch breaks.
Aging skin can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve tried multiple approaches without seeing the results you hoped for. But here’s what we want you to know: there are practical solutions available, and you don’t have to figure this out alone.
At Vertex Aesthetics, we’re not just treating skin, we’re partnering with you to understand your concerns, explore your options, and create a path forward that actually makes sense for your life.
