WHAT IS IPL ACNE TREATMENT?

IPL Acne treatment is a non-ablative procedure that uses intense pulsed light to target c.acnes bacteria in the skin. C. acnes bacteria live in an oxygen free environment and produce endogenic porphyrins. When these porphyrins absorb blue light, free radical damage and

oxygen is produced. This process destroys the bacteria and reduces associated inflammation, assisting with resolution of acne lesions.

CONSIDERATIONS ?

IPL Acne treatments involve little downtime. Depending on the severity of the client’s concern, typically 2 treatments are recommended per week, for the first 2 – 4 weeks. Maintenance can be performed weekly to monthly, as required.

Some cases are considered unsuitable for treatment: Fitzpatrick Skin Type V and VI

Clients who are contraindicated to IPL treatments, including open lesions

Clients with congestion and blackheads, but no papules or pustules

Every client must undergo a thorough consultation and test patch 24 – 48h prior to the treatment.
