What is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment?
IPL is a non invasive medical technology that uses light therapy for multiple cosmetic uses in clinics. These include:
- Permanent Hair Reduction
- Removing Age (liver) Spots
- Sun Spots
- Freckle Removal
- Regulate Pigment (colour) on the Skin (Dyschromia)
- Vascular Treatments (including spider veins)
- Treating benign vascular lesions
- Rosacea Treatments
- Acne Treatments
How does IPL work?
Like laser, IPL works on a similar principal where light energy is absorbed into certain targeted cells with chromophore (colour) in the skin. The light is then converted to heat, which damages the target cells, rederring it incapable of performing its regular duty (perhaps producing hair or colour). This action is limited to the target site only and the surrounding skin is unaffected.
