Glossary Photorejuvenation

uses light therapy to improve skin appearance and texture

Photorejuvenation, also known as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Skin Treatment, is a cosmetic procedure that uses light-based technology to improve the appearance of the skin. It targets issues like sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and fine lines by stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular repair. This non-invasive treatment can result in a more even skin tone and texture.
