Question:
Is IPL a light-based treatment? Is this the same thing as a laser treatment?
Answer:
IPL treatment is treatment of the skin with a light source that emits a variety of colors of light. Selective use of these varied lights can be used to treat skin redness, acne, sun damage and unwanted hair. Lasers in contrast to IPL emit only one colored of high powered light. There are lasers for red, lasers for brown, lasers for wrinkles, lasers or fat, and lasers for hair removal. The best cosmetic dermatology programs will have IPL treatments in addition to a wide array of lasers. Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists with its offices in NYC, NJ, and Boca Raton, FL now serves its patients with over 100 lasers and laser-like technologies.
