What is IPL Treatment?

IPL treatment, also known as intense pulse light treatment, is the type of treatment used to perform such procedures as photorejuvenation (used to treat different skin conditions and remove signs of photoaging), hair removal and acne treatment. IPL treatment releases wavelengths that penetrate deep down to the second skin layer.

Who Is a Good Candidate for IPL Treatment?

The most suitable candidates for this treatment are people with untanned and white skin. People with undamaged, blotchy and discolored skin will also benefit from it. However, IPL treatment is not recommended to people with naturally dark skin because of the high risk of pigmentation.

How Does IPL Laser Treatment Work?

IPL treatment uses light energy to target a particular color in the skin. Once the skin gets warm, the body starts getting rid of whatever you are being treated for. It is possible to treat several skin conditions at the same time.
