FAQ

  1. Photorejuvenation: IPL can improve the appearance of the skin by targeting pigmented spots, freckles, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. The light energy helps break down excess melanin, reducing the appearance of pigmentation and promoting a more even complexion.
  2. Vascular Lesion Treatment: IPL can target and reduce the appearance of certain vascular lesions, such as spider veins, broken capillaries, and rosacea. The light energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin in the blood vessels, causing them to coagulate and gradually fade.
  3. Acne Treatment: IPL can be used to address active acne and associated redness. The light energy helps destroy acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation.
