IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is an innovative skin treatment that uses light pulses to target and treat specific skin concerns, from pigmentation issues to redness and beyond.
What is
IPL Skin Rejuvenation
?
How does it work?
Multiple wavelengths of light penetrate the skin, targeting melanin and hemoglobin. This process helps break down unwanted pigmentation and redness, prompting the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
