IPL Treatment
Discover the power of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy—a versatile and non-invasive treatment designed to address a wide range of skin concerns.
Description
How does it work?
The laser gently removes the outermost layers of damaged skin, revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath.
It also stimulates the production of collagen, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
What is unique about IPL?
Unlike lasers, an IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time. After IPL, you may look younger because your skin tone is more even.
While laser therapy uses a set wavelength depending on the procedure, intense pulsed light therapy uses multiple different wavelengths of light released in pulses. You can think of it as a strobe light passing along the skin. IPL isn’t a focused beam like a laser.
It instead is dispersed beams of light that work together. As the light penetrates down to the second layer of skin, it allows the cells to absorb its energy, heat up, and eventually destroy the pigmentation within the cell. This is how age spots, other discoloring blemishes, moles, birthmarks, and rosacea are diminished.
Does it help anti-aging / stimulate collagen?
IPL will stimulate collagen growth by treating a deeper layer of skin, while improving texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What to expect?
During the procedure, people may feel a pinching sensation. Some individuals have described this as a feeling similar to an elastic band being “snapped” on the skin. The sensation is moderate and very tolerable.
The average treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
