What is IPL?
IPL therapy or intense pulsed light (photofacial), is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. Using light energy, the skin is heated, ridding your skin of the unwanted cells. Unlike lasers, IPL devices emit more than one wavelength of pulsed light, treating a variety of skin conditions at once. IPL has also been known to help with reddening, browning, or splotchy skin.

IPL is a Non-Invasive Treatment
