PRESENTATION

Pulsed light is used in aesthetic medicine in laser hair removal, for pigment spots, in photorejuvenation and also for superficial vascular lesions such as facial erythrosis. The principle of IPL is based on the emission of a broad-spectrum polychromatic light. This light spectrum is filtered according to the targets (chromophores): the melanin of the hair, the oxyhemoglobin of the blood vessels. The emitted light is captured by one of these chromophores targeted by the doctor, and this absorption creates heat which induces selective destruction.
