Intense pulsed light (IPL) is similar to laser, differing only in the physics of the light device. IPL is an excellent treatment for brown and red spots (freckles, sun damage, blood vessels, rosacea). It is given as a series of treatments, usually every 3-8 weeks. Some conditions may resolve after 1-2 treatments. Others may require more treatment sessions.

IPL is also used to remove unwanted hair on the face or body. Specific wavelengths of light help to remove or shrink the hair follicles. The majority of hairs are removed following several treatment sessions (usually six
sessions). IPL (and lasers used for hair removal) work well to remove dark hairs. Blond, white, and grey hairs typically do not respond well.

The acne handpiece with IPL is used to treat acne. IPL kills the bacteria that are involved in causing acne. It also may have a beneficial effect on the sebaceous (oil) glands of the skin. It is given as a series of treatments, typically every 2-4 weeks. IPL may be used alone or with a photosensitizing agent (Levulan).
