What is IPL?

The effect of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is achieved by using light with high energy density, Unlike laser treatments, which only use a limited wavelength of light, IPL uses a much broader spectrum. Different filters can be used to select the wavelength that is optimal for the treatment in question. The treatment takes place in short pulses that penetrate the skin and affect pigments or red blood cells.
