Description
Laser/IPL Treatments “IPL” (Intense Pulsed Light Therapy) technology is a safe, nonsurgical, non-invasive and versatile treatment that uses light energy to rejuvenate the skin.
Because IPL is capable of emitting light at various different wavelengths, different types of skin conditions can be treated by using different filters.
IPL can be used for the treatment of sun damage, hair removal, abnormal pigmentation of the skin, redness, rosacea, broken capillaries (“telangiectasias”), and vascular or pigmented birthmarks. We have even had success with treating vascular lesions resulting from cancer-related radiation treatments!
The process is ideal for patients with active lifestyles because the procedure requires no downtime and has a low risk of side effects. The gentle, non-ablative treatments use broad spectrum light to treat the face, chest, neck and hands —virtually anywhere that sun damage shows.
