IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Get brighter, clearer skin with IPL Ethos MedSpa in Clayton, IL. Whether you’re battling sun damage, redness, or stubborn pigment issues, this noninvasive solution delivers radiant results in as little as one session.
What is IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a powerful, noninvasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin tone and texture. Unlike traditional lasers, which use a single wavelength of light, IPL utilizes broad-spectrum light to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. Our IPL and PhotoFacial treatments correct discoloration, vascular issues, and textural irregularities while preserving the skin’s surface.
how it works
IPL treatments use broadband light technology to precisely target unwanted pigment and redness in the skin. The pulses of light penetrate beneath the skin’s surface, breaking down discoloration caused by sun damage, rosacea, and other vascular issues. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, prompting the skin to generate fresh collagen and elastin. The result? A more even, youthful complexion with visibly reduced discoloration—often in fewer sessions than other treatments.
