What is IPL Acne Treatment?
IPL, “Intense Pulse Light” treatment has proven to be extremely effective on moderate inflammatory acne. This technology uses light that is UV-safe and has no known side effects. A clearer and more even skin tone, management of any acne breakouts and a reduction in redness are all achieved with IPL. The light can calm and reduce active acne, in addition to reducing the redness and pigmentation from previous breakouts and older scars.
Good for?
The treatment can give outstanding results on the following skin concerns:
- Improving acne conditions
- Preventing new breakouts

- Scarring/pitted skin

What happens during treatment?
Skin is covered in the appropriate gel and a series of short pulses of intense light are emitted from an applicator onto your skin. You may experience a warm sensation as the light is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable. Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness, depending on your customized treatment settings. The redness will usually disappear within a few hours. In most cases, makeup may be applied immediately, and daily activities can be resumed on the very same day.
