Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy

What is IPL?

IPL therapy is a quick procedure used to rejuvenate the skin and restore a youthful glow. IPL causes an increased production of collagen in the skin, which results in reduction of wrinkles, reduced pore size, and increased skin elasticity. It can also reduce brown spots, redness due to Rosacea, broken capillaries, and skin roughness.

How does it work?

IPL therapy uses an intense flashing light similar to a camera flash to penetrate the skin's deep layers when the blood vessels, collagen, and pigment cells are found. This leaves the epidermis unharmed, which results in a lack of redness and tenderness associated with traditional laser skin resurfacing. Typically 4 to 6 treatments are required to achieve desired results.
