Why Choose IPL Treatments?
Intense Pulsed Light treatments are a non-invasive, non-abrasive option for anyone who wishes to reduce the visibility of acne scars. The minimal discomfort involved in the procedure means that no anesthesia is required beyond a mild cooling gel. Side effects are rare, with redness in the treated area typically short-lived and a normal appearance restored within hours of the treatment.
How IPL Treatments Work?
During IPL treatments, short pulses of intense light are emitted from an applicator onto your skin. To treat acne, specific wavelengths of light target bacteria in the skin, as well as inflamed sebaceous glands that contribute to breakouts. IPL energy at various wavelengths is also used to selectively destroy pigment cells, blood-filled capillary veins, or hair, depending on the intended nature of your treatment.
When your skin absorbs the light energy, it heats up and you will experience a brief, pinprick sensation. A layer of chilled gel applied before acne treatment helps to ease the discomfort, and as each individual pulse of light can treat a generous area of skin, IPL Acne Treatments are generally quite short. A typical session ranges from 20 to 30 minutes, and most patients require between four and six sessions to achieve the desired results.
Who Should Use IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light treatments are recommended for anyone other than darker skinned individuals, as these people may experience hyperpigmentation from IPL, and people currently or recently treated with the medication Accutane. Pregnant women and photosensitive individuals should consult their physician before commencing treatment.
Whether you suffer from active inflammatory acne or only lingering acne scars, IPL treatment is a safe, non-surgical method for significantly improving the condition of your skin. If acne breakouts and scars are troubling you, acne treatment with Intense Pulsed Light could allow you to face the world with full confidence again.
The Benefits of IPL for Acne Scars?
Acne scarring can affect both the color and texture of the skin. Scars may appear as small dents in the skin’s surface or as raised scar tissue. In either case, scarring often creates uneven pigmentation in the form of redness or dark spots. Because Intense Pulsed Light can target pigment cells specifically, IPL Acne Treatments are effective for evening out discoloration, which dramatically reduces the visibility of acne scars and gives the appearance of a more uniform skin surface. IPL does not smooth out raised scars or decrease the depth of indented acne scars.
