what is IPL

At Dr. Telang's skin clinic we are using several latest technology devices.

Intensive Pulse Light Laser is the latest technology that uses the amplified light to focus on target molecules in skin . Most common use of this device is to remove unwanted hair permanently.

Light at 1064nm wavelength is absorbed by melanin which is present in abundance in hair follicles ,when melanin gets heated , it burns surrounding stem cells that are responsible for making of new hair.Thus this indirect heating effect kills hair forming cells and permanent hair reduction is acheived.

Another use of IPL is collegen induction and skin tightening. high intensity light waves stimulates skin protein collegen formation ,so it gives a fullness to the skin ,it removes fine lines and wrinkles and tightens the skin to impart an overall youthfull texural apperence.

IPL is also used to treat treatment resistent pimples cases , Bacteria in oily glands over face make porfirin a light absorbing pigment . Light at 550nm wavelenth is absorbed by this pigment which is inside these bacteria.When this pigment is heated it kills the bacteria and thus fastens the healing process.
