IPL Photo Facial Rejuvenation IPL Rejuvenation is a gentle process of reducing aging and sun damage to your skin. Flushing and redness can be reduced by 80 to 90 percent in all parts of the body including, face, neck, hands, legs, etc. During the IPL Treatment, exact amounts of light energy will be delivered to your skin. The energy delivered is individualized according to the patient’s skin type and characteristics. IPL treatment can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles since it forms new collagen, which softens the appearance of aging skin.
