Intense Pulsed-Light Therapy

Maybe you?ve wanted to remove your freckles and other facial discolorations but aren?t ready for invasive treatments that demand long recovery times. Intense Pulsed-Light therapy (IPL) is an exciting alternative that delivers results. Some of its benefits include:

  • Much less pain and recovery time than is normally associated with laser or chemical-related procedures
  • The fragile epidermis, or outer-layer of skin, is protected
  • Fast and easy treatment?you?re back to work right away
  • Freckles, melasma, enlarged blood vessels, and age-spots can all be made much less noticeable

Similar to photosynthesis in plants, IPL therapy exposes the dermal layers of skin to pulses of bright light that stimulate skin cell regeneration. IPL doesn?t damage skin the way other, more invasive procedure do, so there is almost no recovery time and minimal side effects. It?s important to keep in mind, though, that your ideal results with IPL will probably require a number of treatments to achieve. Ask your specialist about IPL for more information about this remarkable new procedure.

Intense Pulsed-Light Therapy also treats Age Spots.
