IPL treatment
say "hello" to the new you.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology used for various skin treatments for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes, including acne, rosacea, age spots, and sunspots. IPL uses light to heat and to destroy the problem, and using interchangeable filters allows it to be effective for several skin conditions.
IPL can penetrate through various skin layers to help kill acne-causing bacteria. Sunspots and aging spots get darker over time before lightening, causing most patients to require 4-6 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. (Depending on skin type and the skin condition, the patient may need more treatments.)
