IPL therapy

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive, light-based treatment that improves various skin concerns. Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL delivers broad-spectrum pulsed light to target multiple skin issues simultaneously.

How Does IPL Work?

IPL penetrates the skin to:
✔ Break down pigmentation (sun spots, age spots, freckles)
✔ Stimulate collagen for firmer skin
✔ Reduce redness (rosacea, broken capillaries)
✔ Minimize pore size and acne breakouts

The light energy is absorbed by melanin (pigment) or hemoglobin (blood vessels), leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.
