What are IPL treatments?
IPL stands for “intense pulsed light.” The treatments completed with this type of light may also be known as photo-rejuvenation or photo facials. When patients use intense pulsed light, they are able to undergo a treatment program that is safe and customizable to their unique skin needs. IPL treatments are effective at addressing a wide range of problems that may develop on the skin, including:
- Red and flushed skin
- Brown spots / age spots / sun spots
- Broken capillaries
- Freckles
- Sun damaged skin
- Rosacea
Treatments are typically done on the facial area, though patients may also utilize IPL to treat the skin on the chest, hands, and neck.
How does IPL work?
The intense pulsed laser light used in this treatment is emitted from a specialized device. The light is administered by a dermatological professional at Hollywood Dermatology and Cosmetic Specialists, during which the light wavelengths will penetrate deep into the skin to treat effectively reduce the appearance of pigmentation concerns, while stimulating skin cell production in a more natural manner.
