IPL® (Intense Pulsed Light) technology is a state-of-the-art laser procedure that treats hyperpigmentation, sun damage, poor skin texture, and skin tone by targeting damaged and hyperpigmented skin with intense light wavelengths. The light penetrates the skin and converts to heat when it's absorbed by pigmented skin cells. This destroys hyperactive and damaged cells and disperses pigmentation.

We believe in making the quality care you need as accessible as possible and offer financing through CareCredit® for affordable monthly payments.
