IPL and LED treatments are categorized as what type of treatments?

Ablative
Non-ablative
Exfoliating
Aggressive

The correct answer is: Non-ablative

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and LED (Light Emitting Diode) treatments are categorized as non-ablative treatments. Non-ablative procedures work by targeting deeper layers of the skin without damaging the outer layer, which allows for faster recovery times and less downtime for the client. These treatments focus on stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture and tone, making them effective for conditions like pigmentation issues, vascular lesions, and fine lines. Since they don’t remove the outer layer of skin, they are considered less invasive compared to ablative treatments, which involve the removal of the epidermis and are typically associated with longer healing periods. In contrast, exfoliating treatments are designed to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, and aggressive treatments usually refer to procedures that can cause significant trauma to the skin. Ablative treatments involve surgical methods or techniques that damage the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation, which is different from the functions of IPL and LED.
