What is IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle pulses of light to target inflammation, abnormal blood vessels, and skin conditions. Originally used in dermatology to treat rosacea and sun damage, IPL has been found to significantly help dry eye disease, especially when it is related to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
