How Intense Pulsed Light Helps

IPL, which stands for intense pulsed light and LUMI Solar Emulator Xenon Lamp, essentially targets the different pigments in your skin. Our skin comes in all colors, and some of them might be dark spots or redness. This light source gets absorbed by these colors and then is turned into heat. The color source can be damaged by this heat.  In their turn, your body gets to know there are some damaged cells and it starts eliminating them. Your body then Regrows new, healthy cells to take the place of the dead ones. This process can gradually diminish the appearance of dark spots, redness and wrinkles over time for brighter looking skin.

When this happens,  your body goes to work clearing away dead cells. This process produces younger looking skin.
