What is the Difference Between Microcurrent and Ipl?

Question

what is the difference between microcurrent and ipl facial treatments?

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

IPL stands for intense pulsed light. It is a laser "light" system that addresses color and pigment. It is a light that penetrates into the skin, targeting discolorations and unevenness to help skin tone, color, and texture. There are "homecare" IPL devices that are very low energy and do not do much at all, and there are thousands of medical machines too that are used in physician's offices and medical spas.

	Microcurrent facials are either homecare devices, or galvanic current machines that are for toning the muscles under the skin to create a toned and lifted effect. The machines used by physicians are much stronger currents that create a mini workout for the facial muscles. Homecare devices are much less intense and the probes are smaller, but the idea is to lift and help tighten facial muscles.
