Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a type of light that looks like a bright white flash. This is because it has many wavelengths of light, not just a single color on the spectrum, and is scattered light instead of concentrated light like a laser.
Using IPL, the CANJ Aesthetics team performs a treatment called a photofacial. An IPL photofacial reduces signs of aging, minimizes uneven skin pigmentation, and can even remove unwanted hair.
IPL treatments are faster than comparable laser procedures because the scattered light can treat larger areas in shorter amounts of time. They also target many different skin features because the treatment isn’t limited to a single wavelength of light with specific abilities.
Your IPL treatment at CANJ Aesthetics can brighten the skin while minimizing unfavorable features that affect its tone or texture. IPL is especially great for reducing heavy brown or red pigmentation by breaking down pigments within the skin.
