Overview
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a popular and wide-spread corrective dermatology method. From the technical point of view IPL devices can be divided into two groups: 1. devices with uncontrolled discharge and 2. devices with controlled discharge. Although this method is not the latest one, new knowledge about its principles is still coming up revealing the necessity of choosing the right parameters. By choosing the proper filter it is possible to decrease the energy of the flash of light by up to 73% while maintaining the treatment efficacy.
Key words:
intense pulsed light – IPL – selective photothermolysis – photokinetic selectivity
