been commercialized and is accessible in many dermatology labs nationwide. The principle behind tightening of the skin is based on the theory that heating collagen fibers with high intensity light energy leading to their contracture. Moreover, the thermal stimulation of fibroblasts by the higher wavelengths within the IPL spectrum has been shown to result in increased production of extracellular matrix proteins, leading to replacement of the lost dermal volume (plumpness of the skin).…
