IPL
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a new light-based cosmetic technology.
It uses highly controlled flashes of light energy to treat conditions of the
skin, and to penetrate beneath the skin to reach underlying disorders. IPL
is an effective, non-invasive, low-risk method to eliminate all kinds of unsightly
skin conditions and unwanted hair without cutting or needles. Furthermore, minimal
discomfort and quick recovery time allows patients to immediately return to
work or resume daily activities. For certain treatments, IPL provides
a refining touch to more intensive laser procedures.
Nd:YAG
Among the newer aesthetic applications, the Neodymium Doped Yttrium Aluminum
Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser works within a light spectrum that is able to penetrate
below the skin without harming the outer skin layer. Consequently, it is used
to effectively eliminate deeper imperfections such as unsightly varicose
and spider veins - and like IPL technology, without cutting or needles.
