What Is IPL Treatment?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, aka photo facial, is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure — called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest.

IPL may help if you have red, brown, or splotchy skin because of a health condition.

How IPL Treatment Works
IPL uses light energy to target a certain color in your skin.

When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the thing you’re being treated for. Unlike lasers, an IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time.

After IPL, you may look younger because your skin tone is more even. And since the light doesn’t hurt other tissue, you can get better quickly.

A certified dermatologist should give it. In some cases, a nurse or physician assistant might be able to do it. Either way, find someone who’s skilled with IPL.

Who Should Get IPL Treatment?
It works best if you have pale or light brown skin. Talk to your dermatologist if you want to lessen or get rid of:

Acne
Birthmarks
Stretch marks
Liver or age spots
Broken blood vessels
Brown spots also called liver or age spots
Dark spots from hormonal changes
Discolored skin
Fine wrinkles
Freckles
Redness from rosacea
Scars
Spider veins
Unwanted hair

Alternatives to IPL Treatment
These options also may treat your skin spots, fine lines, and redness.

Microdermabrasion: This uses small crystals to gently buff off the top layer of your skin, called the epidermis.

Chemical peels: This is similar to microdermabrasion, except it uses chemical solutions applied to your face.

Laser resurfacing: This removes the damaged outer layer of the skin to promote the growth of collagen and new skin cells. Lasers use only one wavelength of light in a concentrated beam. IPL, on the other hand, uses pulses, or flashes, of several types of light to treat multiple skin issues.
