Description

IPL, which stands for intense pulsed light also known as a photofacial, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure. It uses high-intensity light comprising varying wavelengths to treat certain skin conditions, remove unwanted hair or enhance one’s appearance. IPL is akin to laser resurfacing of the skin, except that laser treatments utilize a single wavelength in the skin rejuvenation process, and a comparatively smaller surface area is treated on each application.

What skin conditions are treatable with IPL?

• Hyper-pigmentation
• Varicose and spider veins
• Stretch marks
• Acne scars
• Rosacea
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Age spots
• Melasma

Intense pulsed light therapy can also significantly reduce the growth of dark, coarse hair just about anywhere on the body and can be used in the removal of tattoos.
