🌈 Why IPL Is Still Important in Aesthetic Clinics？
🌿 Summary
While many newer technologies have entered the market—such as diode lasers, fractional RF, and picosecond systems—Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) continues to play a vital role in aesthetic skin care.
Its wide-spectrum light targets multiple skin concerns at once: pigmentation, redness, acne, and overall rejuvenation—making IPL one of the most versatile and profitable tools for any clinic.
