IPL for red, brown spots and skin texture improvement

Jonathan Hoenig, MD answers: IPL laser - skin treatment

My skin is rough and often red. A plastic surgeon told me that Intense Pulsed Light (IPL Laser) was the best way for me to address these skincare problems. Is IPL right for me?

IPL is good at reducing brown and red spots and improving skin texture. You are a good candidate if you do have brown and/or red discoloration, fair skin, and fine lines.

If you have more advanced aging and your goal is to get rid of deeper lines and wrinkles, then IPL is not the best choice for you.

Your question was brief and did not say what your goals of the treatment are. Knowing that would help guide me better in determining if IPL is right for you.
