Age spots are darkened patches of skin. They often develop on areas that have been exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light.
IPL, which stands for intense pulsed light, is a treatment that delivers powerful light energy in quick pulses. While it is commonly referred to as a laser, it is technically different. Both IPL and lasers work with light energy, but lasers emit a single wavelength of light that targets specific components in the skin, while IPL uses broad-spectrum light that can be filtered by adjusting the device's settings. This makes IPL a gentler and more versatile option compared to laser treatments.
PicoSure® uses ultrashort pulses of energy, minimizing heat transfer to the surrounding skin. This means pigment removal with little to no collateral damage to the unaffected areas. Unlike other lasers that reduce pigment transfer, PicoSure® disrupts the pigment in the upper layers of skin.
