IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment is one of the newest non-invasive skin treatments around.
The treatment uses an intense burst of red or blue light, which is shone on to the skin to improve tone and texture, even out pigmentation and reduce fine lines. Helen is having the treatment to improve her redness and spider veins, as well as reducing some of the brown patches on her skin.
To see the maximum effect of the treatment, you will need to undergo around four or five treatments. Although the treatment is non-invasive it is by no means the easy option, causing some pain and discomfort as the short bursts of light sting the skin.
