Intense Pulsed Light therapy, commonly known as IPL, is a noninvasive treatment that targets redness, pigmentation, and sun damage. It is especially effective for patients struggling with rosacea, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone.

How IPL Works

IPL delivers controlled pulses of light that target pigment and blood vessels beneath the skin. The light energy breaks down unwanted pigment and reduces visible redness without damaging surrounding tissue. Over time, the body naturally clears these targeted areas, revealing clearer, more even skin.

IPL for Rosacea and Facial Redness

For patients with rosacea or chronic redness, IPL helps reduce visible blood vessels and flushing. While it does not cure rosacea, it can significantly minimize redness and improve overall complexion with a series of treatments.

Treating Sun Damage and Pigmentation

IPL is highly effective for treating sun spots, age spots, freckles, and uneven pigmentation caused by UV exposure. Treated pigment darkens temporarily and then flakes away, leaving clearer skin behind.

What to Expect During Treatment
