Laser versus IPL Treatments

Laser skin resurfacing uses a single wavelength of light to burn off the outermost skin layer. This treatment may require a significant recovery period. The skin is very sensitive as it recovers over a period of weeks to months.

IPL Treatment(s) use different wavelengths of light to target areas beneath the skin. The outer layer of skin remains virtually untouched, and you are able to resume your busy lifestyle immediately.

Effect of Skin Tone on Procedure Results

Most laser and IPL treatments target pigment in the skin, such as melanin or hemoglobin. These treatments are most effective on patient’s with fair skin and a high contrast between the blemish and the normal skin.

Whatever we want to treat has to be darker than the surrounding skin
