Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a cosmetic procedure that uses broad spectrum light to target various skin imperfections. For the face, IPL is specifically used to rejuvenate the skin by targeting face spots, pigmentation, wrinkles, as well as redness. It is also commonly known as light phototherapy or photo facial.

IPL devices emit multiple wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin without harming the surface. The light targets melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin, breaking down unwanted pigmentation and reducing redness. Additionally, the heat irradiated stimulates collagen, reducing fine lines and enhancing skin elasticity.

At our affiliated clinic, the latest next-generation IPL treatment device known as Icon is used. The device is capable of high power irradiation while equipped with a powerful cooling system to ensure there is little risk of burns, and high therapeutic effects can be expected.

Special Cooling Method – “Active Contact Cooling”
· Icon’s cooling system operates in two stages – non-irradiation and irradiation; even after a prolonged irradiation, the cooling can still be functioning at constant temperature. Due to its high-performance cooling technique combined with the unique pulse oscillation mechanism, the treatment procedure using Icon does not require cooling gel; even better, the treatment duration can be reduced as well.

Responds To Various Skin Concerns – Spots, firmness, shine, etc.
· As the irradiation is customizable and can be adjusted at various wavelengths, various skin concerns can be targeted for instance wrinkles, face spots, freckles, sagging skin, open pores, acne, acne scars, and even redness.
