What is IPL-therapy?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy delivers light energy to the facial skin to address concerns such as pigmentation spots and discoloration.
By passing the light through specialized filters, a variety of skin-improving effects can be achieved.
Compared with laser treatments, the light is gentler and the sapphire-glass treatment tip cools the skin during exposure, making downtime and discomfort minimal.
IPL therapy is particularly suitable for those who want to improve their overall skin tone and seek a wide range of benefits.
Device used: Stella M22 (approved by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare).
With more than six types of filters, it allows fully customized treatments tailored to each individual concern.
Recommended for the Following Concerns
