What Are the Benefits of IPL Treatments?
IPL treatments offer a variety of benefits for someone experiencing a wide range of skin problems. At her Houston practice, Dr. Kronberg uses IPL to remove red spots, diffuse redness, and help with acne or rosacea. Treatments can also help smooth uneven skin texture, close large pores, and eliminate wrinkles by stimulating collagen growth.
The IPL Photofacial laser provides patients with the results of a medium depth peel without the down time or risk of a more invasive procedure.
