From the introduction of pulsed light broad‐spectrum energy in 1995, intense pulsed light (IPL) has evolved to become an extremely popular and well‐accepted technology for rejuvenation of photodamaged skin in dermatology and plastic surgery practices as well as medical spas. This paper details where IPL is now, 25 years later, and discusses the wide variety of valuable uses for IPL in medical practices as well as the reasons for IPL's growth in popularity and usefulness.
