What's the difference between IPL and laser Face treatment?

---

IPL is very similar to a laser treatment. However, a laser focuses just one wavelength of light at your skin, while IPL releases light of many different wavelengths, like a photo flash. The light from IPL is more scattered and less focused than a laser. IPL penetrates down to the second layer of your skin (dermis) without harming the top layer (epidermis), so it causes less damage to your skin. Pigment cells in your skin absorb the light energy, which is converted into heat. The heat destroys the unwanted pigment to clear up freckles and other spots. Or, it destroys the hair follicle to prevent the hair from growing again.

Is IPL Safe ?

---

IPL, like any treatment, can never be 100% safe, despite what others may tell you. Most people experience mild redness or swelling after the procedure. This typically fades within a day or two. However In some cases, you may experience:

• bruising
• blistering
• change in skin color
• infection

• small risk of burning (similar to sunburn)
• allergic reaction

The only completely safe option is to not have IPL treatment. The IPL risks are minimised by carrying out a patch test with the settings starting at low, safe level.
