Intense Pulsed Light

Intense Pulsed Light treatments can be used in all skin areas to improve skin tone, texture, and discoloration.

Intense pulsed light (IPL), while not a laser per se, employs pulses of light to eliminate the redness associated with rosacea, improve skin texture and fine lines, lighten dark circles under the eye, decrease blood vessels, and remove unwanted pigmentation from the skin.

When combined with Levulan®, IPL destroys pre-cancerous cells. The main side effect is short-term redness and inflammation.
