IPL Treatment Explained
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a versatile and non-invasive skin rejuvenation technique. It involves the use of broad-spectrum light pulses to target specific skin concerns. At Santa Monica Eye Medical Group, we harness the power of IPL to effectively address a wide range of skin conditions, helping you achieve a more youthful and vibrant appearance..
How Does IPL Work?
During an IPL treatment session, a specialized device delivers rapid pulses of light to the targeted area. The broad spectrum of light emitted consists of multiple wavelengths that can be adjusted according to the specific skin condition being addressed. The light energy is absorbed by the chromophores in the skin, such as melanin (pigment) or hemoglobin (red blood cells), or in the eye, such as abnormal blood vessels or inflammatory cells.
Upon absorption, the light energy is converted into heat, which selectively destroys or reduces the targeted cells or structures. For example, in the case of skin rejuvenation, IPL can target melanin to fade hyperpigmentation or stimulate collagen production to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
