the science of nood
how light can transform your skin
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a broad-spectrum light technology that has been trusted in dermatology for decades. Originally developed as the foundation for professional hair removal, IPL quickly became recognized as the gold standard for reversing visible signs of photoaging - including sun spots, uneven tone, fine lines, and texture.

“Light is one of the most powerful tools we have to reverse the effects of sun damage, ironically the same source that causes it. IPL allows us to harness that power safely and effectively to heal, rejuvenate, and
renew the skin.”

the power of the clinic, designed for home.
In-clinic lasers use a single, concentrated wavelength of high energy to destroy pigment or hair follicles in one powerful pulse. The results are fast but can be painful, expensive, and often require downtime.
At-home red light devices use much lower energy and a narrow wavelength range (typically 600–850 nm) to gently stimulate cellular activity. They can improve surface glow and inflammation but aren’t strong enough to target hair follicles or remodel collagen at a deeper level.
Nood’s IPL devices sit in between — using broad-spectrum light energy to safely deliver professional-level results at home. Each flash emits a lower energy density than a laser but builds the same total energy over multiple sessions, achieving clinical-grade results without the pain or recovery time.
