IPL for Acne

A gentle treatment that addresses both the p.acne bacteria, as well as the pigmentation and redness of your skin.The unique Lumenis® IPL technology utilizes light flashes over the treated area, triggering biochemical response that will eventually kill the bacteria within the pores. It will improve your skin appearance and gain your confidence back with just a few treatments.

How does it work?

The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is one of the most commonly administered form of light therapy in dermatological applications. IPL systems are designed to deliver many rapid, high intensity and controlled pulses of light. The controlled pulsing prevents thermal damage to your skin and minimizes discomfort.

IPL technology allows to treat your acne with specific wavelengths of light which target the bacteria in the skin, as well as inflamed sebaceous glands that contribute to breakouts.

IPL energy at various wavelengths is also used to selectively destroy pigment clusters, blood-filled capillary veins, or hair, depending on the intended nature of the treatment.

What should I expect?

During the Lumenis® IPL Acne treatment, short pulses of intense light are emitted from an applicator onto your skin. The light penetrates through various skin layers and helps killing acne bacteria and reducing the inflammation or sebum excess (skin oil) production that characterizes acne.

It will take a series of treatments in order to kill the bacteria, as per severity phase.

To achieve optimal results, it may take typically 4-6 sessions with a recess of 4 weeks in between treatments.
