This is a phototherapy that evens out skin tone by improving pigmentation, redness, and capillaries together using broadband light.
IPL is a phototherapy that simultaneously improves melanin pigmentation and vascular lesions (redness and dilated capillaries) by irradiating multiple wavelengths of light at once. It evens out blemishes and redness to create an even skin tone.
Pigmented blemishes fade as scabs form and fall off after the procedure, while redness and capillaries gradually decrease. Typically, the effects accumulate with several repeated treatments.
Melasma can be aggravated by IPL, so a differential diagnosis is necessary, and sun protection is important after the procedure.
