What is intense pulsed light (IPL®) therapy?
Intense pulsed light therapy was invented by Dr. Patrick Bitters Jr. The IPL photofacial skin procedure involves the use of an intense beam of broad-spectrum light (as opposed to lasers, which operate within a very specific wavelength) that targets the dermis, the lower layer of the skin. The procedure simultaneously removes damaged and photoaged skin while stimulating collagen growth. IPL photorejuvenation therapy can improve the color, consistency, and texture of the skin all at once.
