IPL treatment, also known as photorejuvenation, works by using intense pulsed light to treat certain skin conditions and blemishes. A handheld device is used to deliver these highly concentrated pulses of visible light to the affected areas on the face and body. Both lasers and IPL use light energy to target specific skin cells. Once the light energy connects with the skin it turns into heat energy, which causes the cells to change. Unlike lasers, IPL therapy uses many different wavelengths of light which enhances penetration and refines the area that receive the energy output. IPL is a truly unique procedure because it targets only the lower layers of the skin, or dermis, without affecting the surface layers, or epidermis. This prompts the body’s natural healing process to repair the dermis, which works its way out to heal the epidermis, ultimately improving the tone, texture and elasticity of the skin.
