The treatment, performed with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, involves emitting pulses of light that are absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood vessels. The light energy is converted into heat, causing the dilated blood vessels to shrink and close, without damaging the surrounding tissues.

For whom?
