	Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL)
		IPL therapy, also called photorejuvenation, uses intense pulses of broadband light to smooth and tighten the facial skin and remove age spots, freckles, and visible blood vessels.
		Unlike the narrow band light of lasers, the light used in IPL is delivered to the deeper parts of the skin (the dermis) and does not damage the surface (the epidermis) of the skin.
		Because the intense light is delivered to the deeper parts of the skin (dermis) and leaves the superficial layer of the skin (epidermis) untouched, IPL therapy does not damage the surface of the skin.

	Intense Pulse Light
		Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a method of permanently removing hair from the body involving the use of a specially constructed xenon flash lamp and focusing optics.
		The pulses of light produced by IPL equipment are very short in duration, so discomfort and damage to non-target tissues is very minor.
		IPL is also used for the treatment of rosacea, skin pigmentation, broken capillaries and freckles.

		Short contact photodynamic therapy, as well as intense pulse light photorejuvenation, have also been used to successfully treat patients with rosacea, a common skin condition that causes redness and swelling on the face, as well as thickening of the skin.
		However, dermatologists are finding that intense pulse light photorejuvenation and short contact photodynamic therapy, again using aminolevulinic acid, may also successfully improve the redness and thickening skin of patients with this condition.

		A Cosmetic Laser is actually a pulsed light - all of the wavelengths of light except one are filtered away.
		Pulsed Light delivers thousands of colors of light each application, but can be 'Filtered' to selectively deliver only the most appropriate wavelength - that would depend, for instance, upon whether you were targeting a hair follicle for removal, or if you were targeting Melanin to rid the skin of freckles.
		More pulses, at higher power and longer wavelengths, with longer delays between the pulses, means you penetrate more heat, deeper, while 'skipping over' and protecting the skins surface.

		When the laser or IPL light is directed at skin tissue, its light energy is absorbed by water or pigments found in the skin.
		Presently, no single laser or IPL is capable of treating all skin conditions, but certain lasers can be tuned to a variety of colors of light or coupled to a robotized scanning device to expand their clinical effectiveness.
		The green light, in contrast, is used for the treatment of benign brown pigmented lesions, such as café-au-lait spots, the "old age" spots commonly found on the backs of the hands and lentigines or freckles.

		IPL therapy consists of a series of 4 to 6 treatments, in which an intense flash of light is emitted similar to the flash of a camera.
		IPL passes through the top layer of skin (epiderrmis) and penetrates to the deeper layer (dermis) where blood vessels, pigment cells, and collagen are found.
		IPL treatments of abnormal redness or vessels usually have minimal downtime, as well, although some patients experience purple discoloration as the intense pulsed light ruptures the blood vessels.

	Atlanta Intense Pulsed Light Surgery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Photorejuvenation Therapy using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is presently considered the ultimate skin refining method, primarily due to its dramatic results, long-lasting effectiveness, convenience, and ability to least invasively and simultaneously address a variety of concerns (e.g., photo-damage, birthmarks, acne scars, and hair removal).
		IPL sends pulses of light through a flat glass handpiece to remove the most superficial layer of skin, reaching beneath the surface to virtually ‘erase’ your facial flaws, and stimulate increased collagen in the deeper skin layers.
		Though MediLux™ IPL hair removal is considered permanent after the sixth treatment, hormonal changes occur with age and can sometimes reestablish growth in previously eliminated hair or cause new hair to grow in areas where it was not formerly evident.

		IPL systems are different to lasers in that they deliver many wavelengths (or colours) in each pulse of light instead of just one wavelength.
		IPL therapy is considered a non-ablative resurfacing technique, which means that it targets the lower layers of skin (dermis) without affecting the top layers of skin (epidermis).
		Light pulses targeted at the melanin in the skin’s surface which heats and destroys melanin to remove the discolouration.
