What is IPL?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, and it has the effects of reducing surface redness, surface discoloration - in other words brown spots, sun spots - on the face particularly. It could be also used on the neck and on the chest, although it must be used with very careful testing in those areas. It can also be used on the back of the hands. It's an alternative to some lasers. One of the problems with Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, is that it's suggested that you get very few side effects from it. You can indeed get significant side effects, including skin burns and discoloration. And it's very important that you go, in my opinion, to a physician-specialist-led clinic where the staff are trained in the use of pulse light, and where we know how to take care of the complications.
