IPL for Veins and Dark Spots

While there is usually no medical reason to remove birthmarks, spider veins on the face and legs, age spots, sun spots, or freckles, many people feel they detract from their appearance and would like to be rid of them. Intense pulse light treatment (IPL) has proven to be very effective for removal or lightening of these vascular lesions. This simple, non-invasive procedure uses intense pulsed light therapy to reduce melanin, the dark pigment in your skin. IPL is simple and quick, requires no anesthetic or down time, produces little to no bruising or swelling, and is relatively painless. (Some patients say they feel a slight sting, like the snap of a rubber band on the skin, followed by the feeling of sunburn.)
