IPL INTENSE PULSED LIGHT

WHAT IS INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL)?

​

Intense pulsed light, also known by its acronym in English, IPL, is a lighting technology capable of eliminating the traces left on our skin by the sun, stress and the passage of time. With its treatment, the skin of your hands, neckline, neck and face will look more rejuvenated.

Likewise, IPL allows the removal of annoying facial hair, whether it is blonde or dark, with the only difference that the latter will require more sessions for its complete removal. As it is a non-aggressive treatment, it is possible to perform as many sessions as the patient requires.

 

The light energy allows you to gradually improve the texture and tone, eliminating enlarged pores, hair, redness, spots and small wrinkles in the deepest layers of the skin.

The duration will vary depending on the size of the area you want to treat, and can range between 30 minutes and 1 hour. After the session, the patient can put on makeup if they wish and return to their normal routine.

As for the number of sessions, it varies depending on each person and the type of IPL used. Mostly, about 4-5 sessions are usually needed every 30-45 days, although depending on the skin type or the patient's needs, the number of sessions could be increased. Additionally, some people may need maintenance sessions.
