Unless you’ve stayed inside all summer, you’ve likely accumulated some sun damage over the last few months. With fall just around the corner, it’s time to think about undoing that damage. One of the most effective methods is with an IPL or Intense Pulsed Light treatment, which improves skin tone and removes freckles and brown spots without pain or surgery. Skin texture, lesions, and age or liver spots are treated with an intense but painless light that gets straight to the affected area without damaging skin.
How IPL works
The affected areas of the skin on the damaged areas are heated using a painless, concentrated light, which diffuses redness and brown spots in the top layer of your skin to even out and improve quality.
With IPL, wavelengths of light are absorbed by the top layer of your skin, altering pigment to return it to a more youthful, and even skin tone. Low contrast or light brown spots, which previously were difficult to remove or improve, respond well to IPL treatments.
