What is IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns, including acne. Unlike traditional laser treatments, which use a single wavelength of light, IPL can deliver multiple wavelengths, allowing it to treat a broader range of skin issues.
How Does IPL Work for Acne?
The light energy delivered during an IPL treatment is absorbed by the skin, heating and destroying acne-causing bacteria and shrinking oil-producing glands. This dual action helps to clear up existing acne and prevent future breakouts. In addition, IPL treatments improve redness and discolourations by reducing inflammation and boosting collagen production.
Why Choose IPL for Acne?
1. Minimal Downtime
One advantage of IPL treatment is the minimal downtime. Most clients can return to their regular activities immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for busy individuals.
2. Combine Safely with Topical Acne Treatments
IPL can be effectively combined with topical acne treatments to enhance overall results. Combining IPL with regular use of acne-fighting products can help to further reduce acne lesions and improve skin clarity.
3. Effective Results
Many clients see noticeable improvements in their skin after just a few sessions. IPL not only targets acne but also helps improve overall skin texture and tone, giving you a clearer and more radiant complexion.
