Abstract
Intense pulsed light is a nonselective, high-energy, noncoherent, and non-collimated light, with variable fluences and pulse duration with single, double, or triple pulses and extremely variable intervals between pulses. The numerous applications of intense pulsed light (superficial pigmented and vascular lesions, hair removal, etc.) may expose to various complications. The most common is hypopigmentation in darker skin types or on hyperpigmented skin.
