What is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photorejuvenation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a powerful light source to improve the appearance of skin. It is a popular treatment for a variety of skin concerns, such as sun damage, age spots, freckles, and rosacea. The light energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the pigmented areas, causing them to break down and fade over time.

IPL stimulates collagen production, which can improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. This treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands and other body areas. It is suitable for most skin types.

The flow of each product supports an enhanced result that locks in moisture and “sandwiches” the accumulative benefits of the formulations. Retinol sandwiching on the other hand is quite literally sandwiching your retinol between two layers of moisturiser to help avoid retinol burns or irritation.
