Question:
What is IPL and what can it treat? Is it the same thing as laser resurfacing?
Answer:
IPL or intense pulsed light is a generic term for a large number of machines that emit a variety of different colors of light. This is in contrast to lasers that emit only one color of light. . IPL devices have been used for a variety of cosmetic purposes, but are best for treating facial redness and superficial sun damage such as freckles and age spots. Laser resurfacing works best on treating wrinkles and acne scars.
