Intense Pulse Light
in Carolina, PR

Intense pulse light or IPL is a laser treatment that is used to treat skin conditions and remove signs of photoaging like uneven texture, spots, and wrinkles. As one of the most popular non-invasive treatment options out there, it's no wonder that more and more patients keep coming back for more. At Numed Medical Aesthetics Center, we strive to deliver the best IPL Carolina has to offer.

More Definitive Answer

Does IPL Work On All Skin Types?

Lighter skinned people who don't use self-tanning products or who do not have a history of excessive tanning respond better to IPL than other patients. However, we will be able to give you a more definitive answer during your consultation.

Healthier Skin

What Can IPL Treat?

IPL works in a similar way that laser works. But how? Like with laser, IPL uses energy that is absorbed into the targeted cells in the skin that have pigmentation. Specifically, when the light energy comes in contact with the skin, it turns into heat energy which causes damage to specific areas of the skin like sun spots or age spots. Once these areas are heated up, the skin responds by creating newer healthier skin in the process.

How Does IPL Work?

Typically, patients can go right back to their normal activities including wearing makeup and exercising. We do, however, encourage our Carolina IPL patients to avoid any sun exposure because it may cause unwanted pigmentation.

After The Treatment

What Is Recovery Like?

Usually there are no side effects of IPL but some patients may appear to have a sunburn for a few hours after treatment. Other rare side effects of IPL include blistering, unwanted changes in pigmentation, scarring, swelling, and infection.

Affordable Than Other Treatments

Is IPL Expensive?

Depending on the provider that you end up going with, it will determine how expensive it is going to be. Overall, IPL is more affordable than other treatments.
