GlossaryIntense Pulsed Light systems (IPL systems)

broad-spectrum light devices for treating skin and hair issues

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems are devices that use broad-spectrum light to target various skin issues, such as hair removal, pigmentation, and vascular lesions. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength of light, IPL systems emit multiple wavelengths, allowing them to treat a wider range of skin conditions by penetrating different depths of the skin.
