ABOUT IPL/BBL

IPL, or Intensed Pulsed Light therapy, is a powerful light-based treatment designed to target unwanted pigmentation, sun damage, redness and signs of aging-all without downtime. Unlike lasers, IPL uses a broad spectrum of light to treat multiple skin concerns at once, making it a versatile and highly effective solution for overall skin rejuvenation.

At Ethos Med Spa, we use the inventor of IPL technology, the Lumenis Stellar M22, one of the most advanced IPL platforms on the market, trusted by top-tier dermatologists and med spas around the world.

WHAT IT IS

HOW IT WORKS

IPL delivers pulses of intense, filtered light deep into the skin. These light wavelengths are absorbed by the pigment and blood vessels, breaking down discoloration and diffusing redness. Your body naturally eliminates the treated pigment over time, leaving skin clearer, brighter and more even toned.

Thanks to the customizable settings of the Stellar M22, we can safely and effectively treat a wide range of skin types and concerns with precision.

Treatment time: 30-60 minutes depending on the area

Sensation: Quick pulses of heat (often described as a rubber band snap)

Downtime: Minimal to none-mild redness or darkening of pigment may occur

Results: Visible improvement after 1 session, with optimal results in a series of 3-5 treatments
