Intermittent Pulsed Light vs. Laser Therapy


At Pure Esthetics, we want our patients to have options when it comes to their skin care. That's why we offer intermittent pulsed light therapy alongside other treatments, including laser therapies. While both IPL and laser therapy can address a variety of skin issues, they each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Typically, IPL is gentler on the skin than laser therapy. However, it may require more sessions to achieve comparable results. The IPL device uses multiple wavelengths of pulsating light rather than a targeted laser. Your esthetician can help you to determine which therapy is best for your particular skin condition.
