Unlike lasers that use one continuous light wavelength, the IPL treatment uses multiple wavelengths of light that enter the skin to concentrate their energy at different levels. Without requiring much post operative care, the therapy is truly a lunchtime therapy for skin rejuvenation. IPL treatment also won FDA approval for hair removal five years ago.
In the past few years, dermatologists have discovered many more uses for this technology, making use of the multiple wavelengths that are processed through the computer to gernerate specific settings for suited to skin color, body area, skin type.
