What Is IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that targets pigmentation irregularities, broken capillaries, and overall skin tone. IPL uses broad-spectrum light energy to break down brown spots, redness, and acne scars while stimulating collagen production for a radiant, even complexion.

IPL is commonly used for:

Sun damage treatment (sunspots, freckles, age spots)
Hyperpigmentation correction (melasma, uneven skin tone)
Rosacea & redness reduction
Broken capillaries & spider veins treatment
Acne scar treatment
Fine lines & wrinkle reduction
Overall skin texture improvement

During your personalized consultation at Amy Aesthetics & Wellness®, we’ll determine if IPL is the proper treatment for your skin type and concerns.
