Acne Treatment (IPL 585 nm)
The IPL light targets the bacteria that cause acne (P. acnes) and reduces inflammation in the skin, leading to fewer breakouts and calmer skin.
It’s best for mild to moderate inflammatory acne (red, swollen spots) rather than deep cystic acne or comedones (blackheads and whiteheads).
Most clients need a course of 4-6 sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart, to see good results.
Most clients describe it as a mild flick or snap sensation on the skin, with a feeling of warmth. It’s generally well-tolerated
You may start to notice improvements after 2-3 sessions, but the skin continues to improve over the full course and even several weeks afterward.
Minimal. You might experience redness, slight swelling, or a mild sunburn feeling for a few hours after treatment
Yes, light makeup can usually be applied after 24 hours, as long as the skin is intact and not irritated.
Avoid sun exposure, excessive heat, sweating (heavy exercise), and harsh skincare (like retinoids or exfoliators) for 48 hours
It’s best suited for lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I-III). We take extra precautions for darker skin tones to prevent pigmentation changes
No treatment can cure acne permanently, but IPL significantly reduces active breakouts and inflammation. Maintenance treatments and good skincare help keep results long-term.
Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, dryness, or minor pigmentation changes, but these are usually mild and short-lived when aftercare instructions are followed.
Yes! IPL is often combined with topical skincare, facials, or oral medications for a more complete acne management plan.
Best for Fitzpatrick I-III. Use caution with Type IV. Types V-VI are generally not treated due to risk of pigmentation.
