Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for active acne involves non-invasive light therapy targeting bacteria and oil glands. It reduces inflammation, kills acne-causing bacteria, and minimises sebum production, aiding in faster healing and clearer skin with minimal downtime.
IPL targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation, leading to a decrease in active acne lesions. It also regulates sebum production and improves skin texture.
An IPL session for acne typically lasts around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
The number of sessions varies but a series of treatments, usually ranging from 4 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, may be recommended for optimal results.
IPL can be used on various skin types. Consultation with our dermatologist will determine if IPL is suitable for your skin type and condition.
There might be slight redness immediately after treatment but it resolves quickly, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately.
