BOOK AN IPL SESSION

What is IPL?

Intense pulsed light therapy, otherwise known as the photo facial, is a method for improving the texture and color of skin without requiring surgery. Essentially, IPL undoes the visible damage to your skin that typically is caused by exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays. This damage is called photoaging, and it is most likely to be seen on the face, neck, chest and hands.

How Does IPL Work?

IPL therapy involves the use of light energy. The device can be targeted to a particular color in the patient’s skin.

The IPL device heats the skin, causing the body to shed unwanted cells. While lasers send out a single wavelength, the IPL device sends out several wavelengths of pulsating light. Accordingly, it is possible to treat numerous skin conditions in a single treatment session.

Because your skin tone is more even after IPL therapy, you’ll notice that you look years younger. As a bonus, the light doesn’t hurt other tissues, so your healing time is really fast.

What Conditions Does IPL Treat?

Doctors have found that a wide variety of conditions may be alleviated with IPL therapy. Here are some examples of the imperfections that may be treated with a photo facial:
