Restore skin's youthful glow with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacials. Intense Pulsed Light is an advanced light-based technology that comes in various types of machines designed to target different structures in the skin. One machine, PhotoDerm VL uses light pulses to remove vascular lesions, such as spider and varicose veins and vascular birth marks. Another machine, PhotoDerm PL employs light pulses to transform sun-damaged, freckled skin into clear, unmarred skin that looks impeccable. The PhotoDerm HR machine removes hair.

Best of all, IPL is non-ablative, meaning that it does not damage the surface of the skin. There is no down time and results are apparent after the first few treatments. Results improve as you have more treatments. The only precaution necessary after a session is to protect your skin from the sun.

Most recently, IPL or Intense Pulsed Light was suggested as an effective way to zap facial hair in a Daily Mail article online. IPL was tested against laser, waxing, depilatory cream, threading and electrolysis.
