IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a highly effective treatment for pigmentation, sun damage, redness, and uneven tone — but the truth is, not all IPL is the same. The device, the power behind it, and the expertise guiding the treatment determine whether you achieve clear, even, long-lasting improvement or end up with patchiness, irritation, and disappointment.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like bumps or skin thickening. It commonly appears on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin, and can also cause eye irritation in some cases (ocular rosacea). While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, triggers often include sun exposure, spicy foods, alcohol, hot beverages, stress, and extreme temperatures. Rosacea tends to flare up in cycles, and although there’s no cure, it can be effectively managed with gentle skincare, prescription treatments, laser therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. Early diagnosis and consistent care are key to keeping symptoms under control and preventing progression.
