IPL™ stands for “intense pulsed light”. It is a light therapy and not a traditional laser therapy. It is different to laser in that it uses a spectrum of multiple wavelengths of light energy and thus can target, heat destroy, and stimulate a number of different skin structures at the same time. Therefore, as long as the IPL™ has the necessary power output, the correct light filters, efficient surface skin cooling, and a wide pulse-width, it is able to permanently destroy hair follicles as well as treating skin pigmentation, regenerating collagen, and treating blood vessel destruction. Our goal is to ensure you receive the best technology available to date. We frequently evaluate what are the safest and most effective treatments available. IPL™ treatments can also result in improvement of fine wrinkles. The result is a smoother, youthful, vital and less blemished-looking skin.

Before the IPL™ treatment can be done we will gently exfoliate your skin. After the IPL™ treatment a hydration mask will be applied to ensure the optimal result. The total treatment will take about one hour and we advise to do 3 to 6 treatments with 3 to 4 weeks interval. Even more effective is IPL™in combination with a Chemical Peeling.
