What Is IPL Skin Rejuvenation?
IPL, short for intense pulsed light, is a treatment that uses a device to emit light and target specific skin concerns or improve overall facial appearance. The light is absorbed by the pigment and red blood cells in the skin, generating heat that mimics a superficial injury without causing lasting damage. This activates the skin's natural healing processes without harming the delicate tissue.
IPL therapy promotes the production of skin-firming proteins like collagen and elastin, which reduces the effects of collagen loss related to aging. It also breaks down dark pigments in age spots and freckles, leading to a more even skin tone.
Unlike conventional medical lasers, IPL treatments use broad-spectrum light with various wavelengths, allowing specialists to customize the treatment for specific skin conditions. This versatile procedure can address multiple issues at once or focus on a single concern.
