IPL (Intense Pulse Light)

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is recommended and trusted because it's a clinically proven, non-invasive treatment that delivers safe, effective results for a variety of skin concerns. It uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment, redness, and hair follicles—making it a versatile option for skin rejuvenation and hair reduction.

IPL is ideal for treating the following conditions:

  • Brown and red spots

  • Excessive redness, including rosacea

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Sun damadge

  • Acne scars

  • Fading acne breakouts

  • Superficial veins/ broken blood vessels (talentasia)

How IPL works

How does it work?

  • Light Energy Pulses: IPL uses broad-spectrum light pulses to target pigment (melanin), blood vessels, or hair follicles beneath the skin.

  • Heat Generation: The light converts to heat, gently heating targeted cells without harming surrounding tissue.

  • Cell Breakdown: Pigmented cells or damaged blood vessels absorb the heat, breaking down safely within the skin.

  • Natural Elimination: The body naturally flushes out the damaged cells over time, reducing pigmentation, redness, or hair.

  • Collagen Boost (for skin rejuvenation): IPL also stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines.
