IPL Photofacial
IPL, or intense pulse light, is similar to laser technology. IPL uses bright light instead of a single wavelength of light, which is used with a laser. The filters placed in front of the light filter out most wavelengths except those used by pigments and blood vessels. The light energy penetrates just under the skin’s surface, causing damage to the melanin (pigment of the skin) or the blood vessels. It is then removed by the body’s natural skin repair mechanisms, resulting in smoother skin. A major advantage of IPL treatments is that they typically have a very minimum amount of downtime. There may be a slight darkening of pigment before the pigment lightens. IPL can be used to treat the face, neck, chest, and back of hands.
