FAQ
How does it work?
IPL technology uses an intense light that is emitted in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. Unlike a conventional laser, IPL emits light energy over multiple wavelengths allowing the light to penetrate all the levels of the skin where abnormally dilated vessels and irregular pigmentation can be found, stimulating collagen production.
Am I good candidate?
We recommend coming in for a complimentary consultation to determine if you are a good candidate for an IPL treatment. Some factors that may prevent you from having an IPL treatment include: sun exposure, acne medications, and skin type.
