ABOUT
This machine is in fact not a laser – don’t be fooled! IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light which is a different treatment altogether.
IPL systems work on the same principles as lasers in that light energy is absorbed into its target in the skin. The light energy is converted to heat energy, which damages the cell that is causing your issue – whether it be a pigment cell or a blood vessel.
Where they differ is that IPL machines are termed “broad spectrum” because they deliver many wavelengths of light to the skin at once, and lasers deliver just one. The fact that they do this means they can treat a multitude of skin considerations at the same time – a real miracle treatment!
Using these versatile machines we can even tailor the treatment to specific wavelengths of light to target acne bacteria and inflammation reducing the severity of breakouts. Pretty impressive, right?
