IPL AND PHOTOFACIALS

VASCULAR PIGMENTATION AND SKIN REJUVENATION

WHAT IS IPL?

Pulsed light treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions is rapidly becoming the therapy for people seeking

lesions, telangiectasia, erythema, rosacea and broken capillaries by efficiently coagulating and eliminating small

blood vessels. Pulsed light has also been proven an effective, safe, reliable and fast treatment for a range of

superficial pigmented lesions such as dyschromia, solar lentigo, mottled pigmentation and melasma. The treatments require no downtime.
