What is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns. Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength of light, IPL emits multiple wavelengths, allowing it to penetrate different layers of the skin and treat a range of issues simultaneously.

 

How IPL Works

During an IPL treatment, a handheld device delivers pulses of light to the skin. The light is absorbed by pigments (like melanin) and blood vessels, which helps to break down unwanted pigment, reduce redness, and stimulate collagen production. The body's natural healing process then clears away the damaged cells, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin.

 

Benefits of IPL

• Reduces pigmentation and sun damage – Helps fade age spots, freckles, and sunspots.

• Improves skin texture and tone – Promotes collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.

• Minimizes redness and rosacea – Targets and reduces visible blood vessels and redness.

• Hair removal – IPL can also be used to reduce unwanted hair growth by targeting hair follicles.

• Non-invasive with minimal downtime – Most people experience mild redness that fades quickly, making it an easy, low-maintenance treatment.
