What is IPL Laser Treatment?
In 1995, IPL Laser Treatment was approved by FDA for the first time. Its use was increasingly adopted by the cosmetic and medical setting. Its treatment was proved to be safer and more effective than other more invasive skin treatments on the market. For men and women who want to improve their skin from the inside out but who do not want the risk or side effects of more invasive procedures, IPL Laser Treatment can help improve the skin both at a cellular and surface level for smoother, healthier-looking skin that lasts.
