Intense Pulsed Light

Intense Pulsed Light

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the appearance of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, redness, rosacea, and uneven skin tone. Using broad-spectrum light energy, IPL targets excess pigment and broken capillaries while stimulating collagen production, revealing clearer, brighter, and more even looking skin. With minimal downtime, IPL enhances skin tone and clarity over a series of treatments.

IPL is best suited for Fitzpatrick skin types I–III. During your consultation, your provider will assess your skin type to determine whether IPL or an alternative treatment is the safest and most effective option for you.
