IPL Acne Management
for Active Acne and Breakout Control
A specific shorter wavelength of light energy is chosen to target the cells within the bacteria known to cause acne lesions. These bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes are present on human skin as part of our normal skin flora. It becomes opportunistic in those with impaired skin barriers causing acne lesions.
LED Light Therapy is often used in combination with IPL Acne Management to provide superior anti-inflammatory benefits and skin healing benefits.
IPL Acne Management targets acne-prone skin to reduce acne bacteria, breakouts and inflammation for a clearer, more balanced and healthier looking complexion.
If acne scarring is a major concern for you Collagen Induction Therapy, Fractional RF Skin Resurfacing or REJURAN Scar Reduction may be a better option for you.

What is IPL Acne Management?
IPL Acne Treatment is a light-based aesthetic procedure designed to target the bacteria and inflammation responsible for active breakouts. The treatment supports clearer skin, minimizes the frequency of breakouts, and promotes a smoother, healthier-looking complexion.
How does it work?
Using controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light, it helps reduce acne-causing bacteria, calm redness, and regulate excess oil production.
Is it painful?
No, it is not painful, but you will feel a “flicking” type sensation often described as a rubber band flicking the skin.
Is there any downtime?
No. IPL skin treatments require no downtime. You can resume your normal daily activities immediately afterwards. Some redness may occur which will settle within a few hours. During your initial consultation and after every appointment you will be provided with appropriate aftercare instructions.
Are the results long lasting?
Most clients experience long-lasting improvement in their acne and overall skin clarity. However, factors such as hormonal fluctuations, skincare routine, lifestyle habits, and overall skin health can influence future breakouts. Maintenance treatments and a consistent homecare regimen may be recommended to help sustain optimal results.
How many treatments will you need?
This will vary depending on the severity of your acne and skin inflammation. Mild breakouts may improve after a single treatment, but a course of multiple sessions is typically recommended to effectively reduce active acne, calm redness, and achieve clearer, longer-lasting results.
