Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive, non-laser treatment that uses broad-spectrum pulsed light to target various skin concerns. Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths to treat pigmentation, redness, acne, and sun damage with minimal downtime.

Minimal Downtime – No recovery time needed for most patients

Common IPL Treatment Areas

  • Hands (Age spots, visible veins)
  • Back & Shoulders (Acne, pigmentation)
