How Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy is performed
Different filters and cooling methods can be selected. The parameters are set by a specialist according to skin tone and pigment depth. A small-area test shot is performed if necessary. Usually, after cleaning the skin, wearing eye protection, and applying a cooling gel, multi-band intense pulsed light is emitted, which is selectively absorbed by melanin to promote its decomposition and metabolism. Postoperative observation includes erythema, mild swelling, and scabbing, followed by cooling and sun protection. The goal is to lighten spots and even out skin tone. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
