Intense Pulse Light Acne Therapy
Uses a drug-free alternative to treat mild to moderate acne. It applies an advanced technology that destroys bacteria in the sebaceous gland, eliminating acne lesions.
Factors that contribute to acne include:
- Genetics
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Diet
- Environmental factors
- Medications
- Reduces 60 to 70% of inflammatory acne lesions
- Helps prevent acne scarring
- Destroys bacteria in the sebaceous glands, improving skin’s texture and tone.
- Helps to clear cystic and/or nodular acne.
Acne begins when the sebaceous glands become clogged and there is a build-up of acne bacteria called P. acnes. This bacteria build-up causes inflammation. Intense Pulse Light activates bacteria-fighting agents produced by your body called porphyrins.
Frequently asked questions
Acne is not a medically "curable" condition, but it is one that can be controlled and managed. You may require maintenance treatments to keep the clearing at an optimum level. This is in addition to any at-home treatment program you have been advised to use.
Most acne patients see a decrease in the number and severity of acne blemishes and lesions within a month of twice-weekly treatments. Optimum results will be seen between 4-8 weeks after treatment.
We strongly recommend you avoid touching or picking your blemishes. We provide recommendations for products and proper home care during and after your treatment.
