What is IPL?
IPL (intense pulsed light) is a non-invasive skin renewal treatment that can improve your complexion significantly. The natural aging process and repeated sun exposure can damage your skin over time. Rosacea, acne scars, melasma, facial spider veins, skin tone/clarity, freckles, stretch marks, age spots, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation are all sources of concern for a person considering intense pulsed light therapy. IPL treatment uses light energy to target pigmented lesions and vascular lesions in the skin which absorb light as heat and eventually flake from the surface. Our advanced IPL device contains state-of-the-art cooling systems to prevent skin damage.
