Each treatment is specific for the individual patient's condition and skin type. IPL treatments have been found to be affective on any area of the body, but the most often treated areas are the face, neck, chest, hands and forearms. IPL has been proven to be effective in treating: sun damage, brown spots, freckles, irregular pigmentation, redness of the face and neck, dilated blood vessels, and rosacea. Skin texture improves with each treatment, pore size is reduced and fine lines and wrinkles gradually soften as more collagen is produced by the energy reaching the underlying skin.

Sessions take approximately 30 minutes per area treated and require no anesthetic. Mild redness and a 'hot' feeling is common immediately after treatment but is easily relieved with cool compresses and moisturizing sun-block. There is no 'downtime'. The benefits of Intense Pulsed Light develop gradually over the following 2 to 3 weeks and best results are achieved with a series of 3 to 5 treatments.
