IPL uses broadband light (multiple wavelengths) — it's less targeted than a laser but treats more concerns in one pass (brown + red + texture). Lasers are more precise for single concerns; IPL is the workhorse for overall tone.
Most patients see meaningful improvement after a series of 3 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart, with maintenance once a year.
IPL can worsen melasma in some patients. We screen carefully and may recommend chemical peels or topical protocols instead for true melasma. For sun damage and freckles, IPL is excellent.
