What You Need To Know About IPL Therapy

You may be wondering if IPL therapy is right for you. The truth is, that IPL therapy is right for just about everyone. IPL therapy is an excellent choice if you want to:

• Look younger
• Have firmer skin
• Have a more even skin tone
• Minimize fine lines and wrinkles
• Get rid of unsightly acne blemishes
• Minimize the appearance of acne scars
• Minimize the effects of sun damage
• Minimize the appearance of skin discolorations

IPL therapy is also an effective treatment to get rid of unwanted hair. IPL damages the hair follicle, not the surrounding skin. When the hair follicle is damaged, the hair doesn’t grow back.

IPL therapy uses intense, focused pulses of light, which work to boost your body’s ability to produce collagen, a naturally occurring substance in your body. IPL therapy is popular because it offers so many important benefits. Consider that IPL therapy is:

• Non-invasive, because it won’t damage your skin
• Effective because you will notice results almost immediately after treatment
• Easy, because it has no harmful side effects and requires no downtime
• Comfortable because it’s completely painless
• It is versatile because it can be used on both small and large areas, so you will need fewer appointments

Typically, you will need from 2 to 5 treatments, but this number can vary depending on the area or areas being treated and your characteristics.
