What is IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), also known as broadband light, is an effective treatment for various skin conditions, including unwanted pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, acne, hair removal, and sun damage. The IPL device emits a broad-spectrum pulse of light specifically targeting problematic areas of the skin. This light energy causes the destruction, or photothermolysis, of the targeted tissue while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. Treatments are safe, quick, and involve minimal discomfort and downtime.

Expected results after IPL treatment:

  • Improvement of acne

  • Reduction of red pigmentation caused by rosacea, freckles, and other conditions

  • Decrease in hyperpigmentation

  • Enhanced appearance of small vascular lesions

  • Reduction of unwanted hair

Good candidates for IPL therapy:

  • Desire to remove unwanted pigmentation (age spots, freckles, sun damage)

  • Suffer from rosacea

  • Have unwanted small vascular lesions

  • Have acne that has been unresponsive to topical treatments

  • Wish to brighten and even out skin complexion

  • Are not tanning at the time of treatment

  • Are not taking any photosensitizing medications

Almost all patients notice visible improvement in their skin after one treatment. However, a series of three treatments is necessary for everyone to maintain these results, and future booster treatments are recommended.

For hair removal, 4-6 treatments are suggested, with annual touch-up treatments to maintain the results. Hormones control your hair growth, so any hair removal treatment will result in hair reduction rather than complete removal.
