IPL Acne Treatments

IPL (Intense Pulse Light) acne treatments use targeted pulses of light to reduce acne-causing bacteria, calm inflammation, and improve the overall clarity of the skin. This treatment works beneath the surface to minimize redness, shrink active breakouts, and prevent future flare-ups — all while keeping the skin’s natural barrier intact.

• Reduces acne-causing bacteria
• Calms inflammation and redness
• Helps prevent future breakouts
• Improves overall clarity and tone
• Reduces post-acne pigmentation
• Minimizes pore congestion
• Supports a smoother, healthier complexion
• Non-invasive and gentle
• Great option for stubborn, recurring acne

This IPL acne treatment is ideal if you:

• Have persistent breakouts or chronic acne
• Experience redness or inflammation
• Deal with acne that doesn't respond well to products alone
• Want a treatment with minimal downtime
• Struggle with post-acne marks or uneven tone
• Prefer a professional acne treatment that's non-invasive

Your appointment includes:

1. Consultation to assess acne type and sensitivity
2. Cleansing of the treatment area
3. Protective eyewear for safety
4. A series of gentle pulses of intense light targeting bacteria and inflammation
5. Cooling gel or post care soothing (if needed)

Most people describe the sensation as a light snap - very tolerable and quick.

After treatment, skin may look slightly flushed for 15-60 minutes.

• After 1 session: skin looks calmer, less red
• After 3-5 sessions: reduced breakouts, smoother texture, clearer tone
• Maintenance: monthly or seasonal treatments depending on severity

Results build gradually as inflammation decreases and skin resets.

IPL acne treatments are not recommended  if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have been on Accutane in the past 6-12 months
• Have open wounds or active infections
• Have an active sunburn or recent tanning
• Take photosensitizing medications
• Fitzpatrick skin types 4-6

A consultation ensures safe suitability.

Immediately After:

• Mild pinkness
• Skin may feel warm
• Makeup can usually be applied the same day

Over Time:

• Redness decreases
• Breakouts lessen
• Skin appears clearer and smoother
• Tone becomes more even

A series of treatments produces the most dramatic change.
