Intense Pulsed Light

Also known as photorejuvenation or photofacial, intense pulsed light is a non-ablative treatment that emits intense, visible pulses of light onto a targeted area without damaging the surrounding skin. The light energy is absorbed by melanin (responsible for skin pigment) and hemoglobin (red blood cells in the blood vessels). As a result of this treatment, these structures are absorbed by the body or brought to the surface of the skin where they will slough off.

Intense pulsed light is successful treatment for addressing various complaints such as fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, visible capillaries, and redness on the face, chest, neck or anywhere on the body. While results may be visible after one session, a series of 3 treatments is typically recommended for optimal results. Due to its non-ablative nature, intense pulsed light requires very little downtime and can be repeated within 2-4 weeks as advised by your skincare professional.
