IPL Treatment

An Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) facial is a non-invasive treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns, such as pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging. The light penetrates the skin to break down dark spots, reduce redness, and stimulate collagen production, leading to a more even skin tone and improved texture. It's commonly used to treat issues like sun damage, rosacea, and fine lines. IPL facials are gentle with minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for skin rejuvenation.
