Abstract: Although Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices emit a broad spectrum of light, which has different properties than laser light, modern, high quality IPL devices, when used with appropriate settings and indications, can achieve treatment outcomes comparable to laser treatments. Since its approval several innovations have been made in IPL technology. SWT® Dual-Filter Technology not only cuts off lower wavelengths, but also uses a water filter to remove wavelengths longer than 950 nm. This reduces light absorption by water in the skin, resulting in less heat generation for a less painful and safer treatment. The aim of this article is to summarize the common indications and advantages of SWT® IPL technology, illustrated with the author’s clinical results.
