For what ages can IPL be administered? Can it be used on teenagers?

IPL treatments can be used to treat many different skin issues that are related to skin discoloration to include port wine stains that are routinely treated in the childhood years.  As long as the physician is well versed in its capabilities and possible complications, IPL treatments can be used safely at almost any age.

I hope I was helpful.
