When did the FDA approve IPL for cosmetic use?

  1. Mid-1980s

  2. Early 1990s

  3. Mid-1990s

  4. Early 2000s

The correct answer is: Mid-1990s

The FDA approved IPL (intense pulsed light) for cosmetic use in the mid-1990s. This means that options A and B, which are earlier time periods, are incorrect. Option D, which is the early 2000s, is also incorrect because it is a later time period than the one specified in the question. Option C, being in the mid-1990s, is the most accurate answer and is therefore correct.
