Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments are performed to improve solar damage. The technique uses intense pulsed light to penetrate the skin to improve pigmentation changes (brown spots), broken blood vessels and fine wrinkling. Effects on wrinkling are minimal; however, the improvement in skin coloration can be significant. IPL requires a series of 4-6 treatments. There is no significant down time except for rare areas of temporary patchy dryness.
