How It Works

Targets Pigment
and Vessels — Spares the Rest.

IPL uses broad-spectrum light energy that penetrates the skin to target pigment (melanin) and vascular structures (hemoglobin). The M22 IPL platform at NPSC delivers precise, customizable light pulses absorbed by these targets while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.

During treatment, pigmented spots darken and gradually flake off over days; redness and visible vessels fade progressively with each session. The gentle heating sensation is well-tolerated — and there is no downtime required.

What IPL Treats

IPL vs. Laser Resurfacing

Color vs.
Texture.

IPL targets color (pigment and vessels) with a broader spectrum of light, requires no downtime, and is ideal for sun damage, rosacea, and vascular concerns.

Laser resurfacing (such as Erbium YAG) targets texture, wrinkles, and scars with more aggressive energy, requires downtime for healing, and delivers more dramatic results for deeper skin concerns.

A side-by-side comparison
Frequently asked
What does treatment feel like?

A mild warming or gentle snapping sensation on the skin. Most patients find the procedure very well-tolerated. Treatment takes 20–30 minutes.

Is there downtime?

Mild redness for a few hours is common, but there is no true downtime. You can return to normal activities immediately. Darkened spots may appear temporarily before flaking off naturally over several days.

How many treatments will I need?

A series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, is typical for optimal results. Dr. Huq’s team will discuss the ideal number of sessions based on your concerns and skin type.
