A non-invasive cosmetic technology designed to address a variety of skin concerns. Unlike a true laser, IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target hair removal, sun damage, age spots, and vascular lesions. This versatile therapy delivers pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigments in your skin, effectively reducing unwanted hair, even out skin tone, and diminishing the appearance of vascular lesions over a series of sessions. With minimal discomfort and little to no downtime, IPL Laser is a popular solution for achieving a rejuvenated complexion.
IPL Laser works by emitting multiple wavelengths of light in each pulse, which penetrates the skin to reach the targeted areas. The energy from the light is absorbed by the pigments (melanin in hair or hemoglobin in blood vessels), causing them to break down and be naturally expelled by the body. For hair removal, IPL is most effective on hair in the active growth phase, necessitating multiple sessions to capture all cycles of hair growth. The treatment process is quick, taking anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the area, and involves minimal discomfort, typically described as a snapping rubber band sensation.
