How does IPL Work?
IPL uses specialized wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the skin to target both hemoglobin and melanin. The beam of light harmlessly passes through the skin and is absorbed by the hemoglobin and melanin, causing them to be damaged. They are then absorbed into the body and made less visible.

How Long Will My Results Last?
