Intense pulsed light
Fade visible discoloration. Reveal a more even tone.
IPL uses broad-spectrum visible light to target pigment-producing cells beneath the skin’s surface. As the light converts to heat, unwanted pigment is broken down and naturally reabsorbed by the body.
Nuderma uses IPL Photofacial to address brown spots, broken capillaries, sun spots, freckles, rosacea, and uneven-looking tone.
Why IPL
Focused light. Clearer-looking skin.
A customized, non-surgical treatment designed to improve visible pigment and support a refreshed complexion with little to no downtime.
Correct
Targets excess pigment linked to brown spots, freckles, sun damage, and uneven tone.
Calm
May address visible redness, broken capillaries, and rosacea when IPL is appropriate for the patient.
Renew
Heat delivered into the dermis can stimulate collagen and improve the appearance of fine lines over time.
Candidacy matters
IPL is not right for every skin type.
Because IPL responds to pigment, Nuderma notes that lighter skin tones—typically Fitzpatrick types I–III—often respond best. Darker skin tones can face a higher risk of unwanted pigment changes.
An in-person consultation is used to evaluate skin type and tone. If IPL is not a safe fit, the care team can discuss a more appropriate alternative.
