Intense Pulse Light (IPL)

Lose those sun spots, banish unwanted hair, and make spider veins a distant memory forever with Intense Pulse Light therapy (IPL). IPL is based on emitting high intensity pulses of light to penetrate the second layer of skin, ridding it of discolorations, rosacea and blood vessels on the face, acne scars and more. 

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy offers the benefits of a medium depth laser or chemical peel without the blisters, burns and long recovery time. Many patients report reduction in pore size, smoother skin, and fewer wrinkles as a result of this treatment.

During your initial consultation, we will sit with you to determine the type of IPL that works best for you.
