In order to break down the pigmented area of the skin, the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) releases numerous wavelengths to the damaged area that the skin then absorbs. The light energy then breaks down the affected area without harming the healthy surrounding skin surface. The body then removes the damaged skin, leaving a well-rejuvenated complexion that is smoother and clearer.
