What Can IPL Treat?
- Skin Rejuvenation: Improves the overall texture and appearance of the skin by stimulating collagen production for smoother skin with diminished fine lines.
- Sun Damage and Pigmentation Reduction: Reduces age spots, freckles, and other types of pigmentation irregularities caused by sun exposure.
- Vascular Issues: IPL can target and reduce the appearance of broken capillaries, spider veins, and rosacea.
- Acne Treatment: IPL can be used to treat mild to moderate acne by targeting the bacteria responsible for breakouts and reducing inflammation. It can also help minimize the appearance of acne scars and improve skin texture.
- Reduction of Skin Redness for conditions like rosacea.
