how it

Works

IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target and break up melanin (brown pigment) and hemoglobin (redness) in the skin. The light energy is absorbed by the unwanted pigment, which then rises to the surface and flakes off over several days. Most patients describe it as a warm, snapping sensation during treatment, followed by a mild sunburn-like feeling. Over time, your skin becomes clearer, brighter, and more even in tone.

Most patients describe it as a warm, snapping sensation during treatment, followed by a mild sunburn-like feeling. Over time, your skin becomes clearer, brighter, and more even in tone.

Because the light penetrates multiple layers of skin, IPL can address several concerns at once. This includes sun damage, freckles, redness, broken capillaries, and overall dullness. Your body naturally clears away the treated pigment, and you’ll notice your complexion becoming progressively clearer, brighter, and more evenly toned.
