Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a skin treatment process performed using a handheld device attached to IPL machine which produces a burst of light. For hair removal this light penetrates through the skin to the hair shaft, destroying the hair follicle. This method of cosmetic treatment is also highly beneficial for the treatment of birthmarks, broken capillaries, spider veins, fine lines, age spots, tattoo removal, acne and sun damaged skin. Pros of IPL therapy Non-invasive Intense Pulsed Light therapy is a non-invasive and painless cosmetic procedure. Unlike other laser treatments that use an intense all-at-once light causing side effects, IPL therapy does not damage the top layers of the skin because it uses several wavelengths of enhanced energy to treat the skin. Zero recovery time Unlike many treatments, IPL therapy is non-invasive and highly effective. It has no downtime, which means the patient can return to work immediately after the treatment. The procedure can be done within a duration of 30 to 40 minutes per session, making it convenient for the individuals to be able to have it performed during a lunch break. Thus patients do not need to take any additional time out to complete the course. Very effective From working wonders with skin rejuvenation to permanent hair reduction, IPL therapy is an effective treatment process. The IPL laser targets the melanin in the skin and stimulates the healing process whereas, for hair removal, it targets the hair follicle. Cons of IPL therapy This method of cosmetic therapy uses several gentle wavelengths so several sessions are required to have desired results. This can vary depending on the area to be treated. Intervals of 3-4 weeks must be allowed in between treatments for the effects to take place. It is not as effective for people with lighter skin tone and light hair colour.
