With aging comes wisdom, but also tired-looking skin. Have you ever walked by a woman your age with glowing skin and wondered how does she do it? She may be one of the many users of a new skin treatment procedure called IPL or Intense Pulsed Light.

IPL, also referred to as photo-rejuvenation, can repair various skin troubles we may encounter, particularly as we grow older. Some of the troubles that IPL is able to treat are: fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage. IPL even works on non age-related issues such as scarring and discolorations, large pores, rosacea, acne breakouts, and broken capillaries.

IPL works the way it sounds—by using intense pulsed light. It delivers these pulses of light to the skin, which then stimulates collagen and elastin growth. The results are remarkable. Your skin will be smoother, firmer, and healthy-looking.

IPL is a great procedure as it is considered a gentle treatment and requires almost no recovery time. After the first treatment you may experience some slight swelling, but it subsides within a few hours. Another plus is that this treatment is entirely non-invasive. As the light seeps in with each pulse, the surface of the skin is left trauma-free. IPL is technically repairing your skin from the inside, out.

The cost per IPL treatment can range depending on the area you wish to treat. How often you should have each session, and how many sessions you need in total, also varies. It is, however, recommended to start with a series of around 5 sessions, each one to be performed one month apart. Although IPL is not a permanent skin treatment, the skin will continue to improve with repeated and frequent sessions. Book a consultation with an IPL specialist to discuss your problem area, the number of sessions recommended and the procedure itself.

IPL continues to grow in popularity, gaining praise from many faithful users. If you wish to revitalize your skin without ever having to experience injections or surgery, yet achieve outstanding results, this could be for you.
