Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photorejuvenation
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive light treatment which uses short bursts of high energy light to effectively treat skin discoloration including the redness associ-ated with rosacea or capillaries; brown spots from sun damage, birthmarks, or age; even stretch marks can be lessened with IPL treatment.
IPL is also used for treating fine wrinkles and as part of combination therapy to keep acne at bay. IPL uses an adjustable range of wavelengths to treat different conditions. This pre-vents the use of excessive energy and damage to non-targeted layers of skin. IPL treatments typically involve 4-6 visits spaced 3-6 weeks apart; the procedure takes about 20 minutes and involves no downtime. IPL infrequently causes some side ef-fects including mild sensitivity during treatment and redness directly after. These rare side effects fade soon after the procedure is complete.
