What is IPL?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. The procedure uses pulses of broad-spectrum light to target unwanted pigment and skin redness without breaking the skin’s surface. Compared to lasers, which concentrate on one wavelength, IPL distributes multiple wavelengths for deeper, more versatile treatment.
This technology is commonly used to:
- Reduce redness caused by inflammation or broken capillaries
- Minimize the appearance of acne-related discoloration
- Improve overall skin tone and texture
It offers a versatile solution for those seeking visible results without the recovery time associated with more aggressive procedures.
How IPL Helps Acne Scars
Mild acne scars often show up as red or brown spots, especially on fair to medium skin tones. These marks are not deep tissue scars but rather surface-level pigment issues that IPL can effectively fade.
The light energy from IPL treatments breaks down excess melanin and hemoglobin responsible for dark spots and redness. Over time, the body’s natural healing process clears these particles, revealing a more even complexion.
Patients typically see best results after a series of sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. The procedure requires no downtime, making it an easy addition to most skincare routines.
Is IPL Right for You?
IPL is ideal for individuals looking to address:
- Mild acne scarring or discoloration
- Persistent redness or blotchy skin
- Uneven tone from past breakouts
It is especially effective for those without active acne and with lighter skin tones, as the light targets pigment and may be less suitable for darker complexions. A consultation can help ensure the treatment is safe and tailored to your skin’s unique needs.
