What Is Spectrum IPL?
Spectrum IPL is a broad-spectrum light treatment that delivers controlled pulses of light to the skin. Unlike traditional lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL uses multiple wavelengths to target specific concerns:
Dark spots and hyperpigmentation
Redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries
Uneven skin tone and texture
The light energy breaks down damaged cells, allowing the body’s natural healing process to reveal clearer, more youthful-looking skin.
How Spectrum IPL Works
Targeted Light Energy – Pulses of light penetrate the skin to target pigment and small blood vessels.
Breakdown of Damaged Cells – Pigmented areas and tiny blood vessels absorb the light and gradually fade.
Natural Skin Renewal – The body removes damaged cells and stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even skin.
