What is IPL therapy, and what does it treat?
IPL (intense pulsed light) is not a laser but a filtered flash of broad-spectrum light. It treats brown pigment and redness in one session, so it suits sun-damaged skin with mixed spots and capillaries.
At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, IPL is used mainly for lighter skin types with sun spots and redness. Pricing is quoted at consultation.

- Diffuse redness and small capillaries
- Photo-ageing with mixed pigment
