Change to a better version of your skin.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, aka photo facial, is a non-invasive modern technology that uses short pulses of broad-spectrum laser light over the skin surface for anti-aging cosmetic skin treatment and unwanted hair.
How IPL therapy works
- IPL uses light energy to target melanin and hemoglobin in the skin accurately to improve hyper pigmentation, spots, blemishes and blotches by removing damaged skin cells.
- An IPL light wave gently heats the deeper layers of skin and stimulates collagen production that reduces fine lines, scars and wrinkles.
- Unlike lasers, an IPL device delivers multiple wavelengths of pulsating light. So, it can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time.
- After IPL, we can look younger because our skin tone is more even.
