EMEA

PRIME Journal - International Journal of Aesthetic and Anti-Ageing Medicine

Christine Dierickx, MD discusses her experience using intense pulsed light to treat pigmentation across the face, neck, chest and hands.

Christine Dierickx has almost 20 years’ experience of using intense pulsed light to treat the visible signs of ageing, and is co-author of one of the early studies ‘Facial Photo Rejuvenation using Two Different Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Wavelength Bands’. Laser in Medicine and Surgery 2004; 34: 120-126. In this opinion article, she draws upon that experience to application in a working dermatology practice, and to remind us that treatments are not limited solely to the face.
