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.
