What is IPL Acne Therapy?
IPL Acne Therapy is an advanced IPL skin treatment that uses Intense Pulsed Light to target the bacteria and inflammation responsible for breakouts. The light penetrates deep into the skin and targets P. acnes bacteria – one of the main causes of acne.
By reducing bacteria and calming inflammation, the skin can begin to heal from within. IPL also stimulates collagen production, which improves skin texture and supports the healing of old blemishes. As a result, it can reduce the appearance of scarring and leave your skin looking brighter, smoother and more even over time.
How IPL Works as an Acne Treatment
IPL delivers multiple wavelengths of light into the skin, where it is absorbed by the porphyrins produced by P. acnes bacteria. This generates heat, which destroys the bacteria and reduces inflammation. The treatment also shrinks overactive sebaceous glands, helping to reduce oil production, a major contributor to clogged pores.
This makes it an ideal treatment for acne, especially in cases of:
- Hormonal acne
- Inflamed or cystic breakouts
- Acne on the face, chest or back
- Acne-prone skin that hasn’t responded to other treatments
