This type of treatment is particularly designed for people with delicate and irritated skin, usually due to other methods of acne treatment.  It is also designed specifically for people who can’t or don’t want to take oral antibiotics against acne.

The effectiveness of IPL is very impressive, starting even after the first treatment! Right away, the skin will become calm, the inflammation will go down and the pimples will start to scar.

The IPL treatment is a little bit painful. It involves the application of a cool gel on the skin. The hand piece is applied on the skin that needs to be treated  which will produce a light pulse, giving a light stinging feeling. The hand piece is then moved to a new area, until all the region has been treated. After that, the gel is removed, and a mask is applied on the skin.

Four to six treatments are usually necessary to achieve a good result. Some patients will need additional treatments to reach that same result. The frequency is usually every 2-3 weeks

The main advantage is that there are very little side effects, excluding light redness following the treatment for a maximum of 24-48 hours.
