INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) IN DEPTH
by Bruce Freund, D.D.S.
One of the advantages of IPL is that it is non-ablative and non-invasive, meaning it does not involve surgery or destruction of the skin. Intense Pulsed Light is a treatment that uses light to absorb melanin (the dark pigment in your hair and skin) and haemoglobin (the red colour in your blood vessels). This light converts to heat, which damages the target cells without disrupting the skins surface. This is used as a non-invasive treatment for unwanted hair and many skin conditions.
