Also known as photorejuvenation or a photofacial, intense pulsed light is a non-ablative treatment that emits intense, visible pulses of light onto a targeted area without damaging the surrounding skin.
An IPL treatment uses the power of broadband light to improve the appearance of sun spots, rosacea, age spots, and skin texture. The treatment can also be used for hair removal, photo rejuvenation, as well as to alleviate dermatologic diseases like acne. It is a popular treatment because its effective, affordable, and non-invasive.

HOW DO INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) TREATMENTS WORK?
It is important to note that IPL is not a laser resurfacing treatment. While the two devices operate on similar mechanisms of delivering high-intensity light energy onto specific target cells within the skin, lasers operate using a single wavelength. IPL treatments deliver multiple wavelengths, which allow them to target various conditions. They are also non-ablative, meaning that they do not damage the surface of the skin, whereas some laser treatments can be ablative.

What Do IPL Procedures Do For Your Skin?
A handheld device is passed across the skin delivering pulses of broad spectrum light to the deep layers of the skin. Since the handheld device employs a light to influence the skin on a molecular level, there is no need for any incisions or injections. You can think of it like a blinking flashlight, sending out scattered wavelengths of light, making an IPL very targeted for specific problem areas or skin concerns.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL)?

Truly 5 star cosmetic clinic. Lovely and extremely professional team and management, they make you feel comfortable. I have had Botox treatment , microdermabrasion and facial with lovely Behnaz. She is physician back home , always understands my concerns and pampers me during my treatment. I’m so happy and now her regular customer. I highly recommend this place with its wonderful atmosphere
…Because of the multiple wavelengths used during an IPL treatment, it can be adjusted for a spectrum of skin tones. However, fair skin that is relatively elastic and “freckle-prone” shows the greatest improvement.
WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE DURING AN INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) TREATMENT?
Intense pulsed light treatments are not entirely pain-free, although the level of discomfort depends upon your individual threshold for pain.
