IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light treatment, is a safe and non-invasive treatment that improves skin texture and quality.
About
Intense Pulsed Light treatment, or IPL for short, is the latest non-surgical technology to help treat many kinds of skin concerns, blemishes, and marks. Safe for all types of skin, IPL uses light to deeply reach all layers of skin, rejuvenating collagen production and helping to smooth wrinkles, shrink enlarged pores, and much more that contributes to smoother, cleaner looking skin and a more youthful appearance.
A decade ago, laser treatments used specific wavelengths of light to treat skin. Today IPL uses light, but very differently than the targeted, high-intensity beam of a laser. Poly-chromatic, or broad spectrum light, is used, and these many varying wavelengths have been proven to work wonders on skin conditions, on all types of skin.
IPL helps reduce the appearance of:
- Age spots
- Varicose Veins
- Sun damage
- Blemishes/Acne Marks
- Freckles
- Birthmarks
Before & After Results
IPL therapy targets pigmentation irregularities, sun damage, and vascular lesions, restoring skin tone and clarity for a radiant complexion.
Experience the remarkable effects of IPL treatment over three sessions as sun damage and hyperpigmentation fade away in striking before and after images.
Recovery Time
Our patients see results in just a few sessions—IPL treatment is safe, effective, and doesn’t require extensive treatment sessions. Unlike other beauty treatments, IPL leaves behind little or no redness, irritation, or swelling—all conditions that can only cause new skin problems.
Most of our clients see some results immediately, but we recommend four to six treatment sessions to see the most improvement. These sessions are often scheduled with your skin’s natural cycle of regeneration in mind—thirty to forty days for most people.
