Intense pulsed light for hair, acne, redness, or spots
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a light-based device (IPL) to treat unwanted hair, acne, redness (rosacea), or age spots. It may help if you are an adult with one of these skin concerns and have a lighter skin type (not very dark). The treatment is quick and gentle, with little downtime.
