Indication Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a cosmetic skin treatment. People may use it to reduce the signs of aging or remove unwanted hair. Other uses include reducing the appearance of scars, lightening darker patches of skin, and improving the appearance of spider veins. IPL works in a similar way to laser therapy. The difference is that where laser therapy delivers a single wavelength of light energy, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths. This means that IPL can treat a larger area of skin in a shorter time than laser therapy. Key Benefits of IPL Treatments for Skin Rejuvenation IPL skin rejuvenation procedures do not require any anesthetic and sometimes offer near-instant results. The painless procedure also does not require any downtime, which means clients can resume regular activities shortly after the treatment. IPL laser treatments can be used to correct and refine nearly all skin types, and are particularly effective for treating: ♦Freckles ♦Age spots/Sun spots ♦Hyperpigmentation ♦Rosacea ♦Spider veins ♦Acne IPL With Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT) The  OPT advantages: Control pulse shape by equalizing energy distribution over the entire pulse or sequential pulses. Gentler, more comfortable, patient-friendly procedures, with lower effective fluences. High peak power, shorter pulses – optimal for IPL skin treatments using photorejuvenation and treatment of benign pigmented lesions. Advanced OPT will also allow determining the specific fluence per sub-pulse when using multiple sequential pulsing, for fine-tuned treatment settings.
