IPL is great for sundamage and skin redness

Arnold R. Oppenheim, 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 the ideal treatment if your skin concerns are sun damage and redness to the skin.  You do need to be a fairer skin  type to have the treatment done. It will take 2-5 treatments to achieve a good result.  I have seen a lot of patient satisfaction with this treatment.   It does a great job on "cleaning up" the skin and making the complexion even toned.
