Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a widely used method of improving the appearance of skin blemishes such as sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea, broken capillaries, and uneven or hyperpigmentation. IPL emits multiple wavelengths of light whereas a laser delivers a single wavelength.

During an IPL photofacial, a laser wand delivers short and precise amounts of pulsed light energy to targeted areas of skin. The light penetrates your skin and destroys the pigment-producing cells below the surface to safely achieve a more even skin tone and texture.

Despite the term “photofacial,” IPL can be used on other body parts, including the neck, chest, and hands. Treatment typically lasts only 20 to 30 minutes. We recommend 3 to 4 sessions approximately one month apart to achieve optimal results.
