See Why So Many Choose This Non-Invasive Treatment to Address a Range Of Skin Concerns

If you’re experiencing sun damage, redness, or hyperpigmentation, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments could help you feel like yourself again.

With the winning combination of minimal downtime and quick, effective results, IPL treatment is a non-invasive procedure that leaves you with more even, youthful-looking skin.

Let’s Talk Basics: What Is IPL Skin Treatment?

IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns. Although it’s sometimes mistakenly referred to as “IPL laser treatment,” instead of using a laser, it actually emits multiple wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin’s surface at different depths. The skin absorbs the light energy as heat, breaking down damaged cells. After the heat breaks down the damaged skin cells, the body’s lymphatic system will naturally eliminate them, leaving the appearance of a more even skin tone.

What Skin Concerns Can IPL Treatment Address?

IPL treatment is effective for a versatile range of skin concerns. Here are the skin concerns that this non-invasive treatment can address.

Target Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation

Over time, sun exposure can cause sunspots, freckles, and other kinds of hyperpigmentation called photoaging. With its wavelength technology, IPL treatment targets the hyperpigmented areas in photodamaged skin, breaking down the melanin that causes discoloration. After a series of treatments, patients can notice a significant reduction in photoaging and a more even skin tone.

Reduce Redness and Rosacea

IPL also relieves the appearance of rosacea or persistent redness. The light energy targets broken blood vessels that are typical of these skin conditions. The thermal energy breaks down the damaged blood vessels, reducing the redness and improving the appearance of the skin. After just a few IPL treatment sessions, patients may notice that their skin is significantly less red.

Treat Spider Veins

IPL M22™ is ideal for treating spider veins, particularly on the face and chest. Just as it does in rosacea treatments, IPL targets the broken capillaries that create spider veins and other vascular lesions, breaking up the damaged blood vessels until the body’s lymphatic system absorbs them.

Decrease the Appearance Of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

IPL skin treatment can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin texture. The thermal energy of the treatment stimulates collagen production and improved blood circulation, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. The same mechanism promotes the growth of newer, healthy layers of skin for a more radiant complexion.
