What is intense pulsed light (IPL)?

IPL is a device that emits a visible broad-spectrum of light delivered in a millisecond range. Given its broad spectrum (400 nm-1200 nm) a filter is used to selectively choose treatment for acne (450 nm); vascular blemishes, pink scars and redness (530 nm); brown spots and freckles (570 nm); and even hair removal (650 nm). Of note, we don’t perform hair removal using IPL at Houston Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Katy.

You will have a previous consultation before your procedure to confirm that you are a candidate for the treatment. Ethnic skin types (Mediterranean, Asian, Hispanic and African) are not ideal candidates for some of the types of wavelengths as there are higher chances of being burned or injured by the device.

FAQ

What is IPL treatment?

IPL vs Laser treatment

Both IPL and laser treatments can be used to improve a variety of skin issues. The main difference is that IPL therapy is gentler on the skin and usually requires more sessions than laser therapy for comparable results. Laser treatment is more intense and recovery is longer. It can achieve more noticeable results from fewer procedures. However, unlike lasers, an IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. IPL can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time. Certain skin issues may respond better to IPL or laser. Your dermatologist can tell you which one is a better match for your needs.

How IPL treatment works?

IPL uses light energy to target a certain color in your skin. When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the issue you’re being treated for. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time. After IPL, you may look younger because your skin tone is more even. And since the light doesn’t hurt other tissue, you can get better quickly. For the treatment, you should seek a board-certified dermatologist
