IPL is intense pulsed light therapy. It works very well for broken blood vessels, hyperpigmentation, melasma, which is the darkening of the face usually around the cheeks and sometimes under the nose that happens after pregnancy. It also works very well for age spots on the hands and it also is very effective for removal of dark hair. It is a great therapy because it is something that you can do during lunchtime with very little downtime, with very little pain with it. IPL is a photo light therapy, so what we do it we put on a pair of dark glasses to protect your eyes from the light and then I put on a cooling gel, which just protects the surface level of the skin from any possible burning and then we just emit the light in little sections. Each treatment takes about 20 minutes and when you finish, we wipe off the gel and you can put on a little camouflage makeup and go out.
