What is IPL Photorejuvenation?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photorejuvenation uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment, blood vessels, and stimulate collagen in the skin. It treats multiple concerns simultaneously—sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and uneven tone—making it efficient for overall skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

IPL works best as a series. Plan 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart for optimal results. Combine your treatments with a Turkey vacation to make the most of your trip.

⚠️

Insider Note:

Avoid sun exposure 2 weeks before and after IPL. Tanned skin increases risk of burns and pigmentation changes. Self-tanners must also be avoided — they can interfere with treatment accuracy.
