IPL ACNE TREATMENT

IPL Acne Treatment

A non-invasive solution for inflammatory acne that offers a great alternative for oral medications, the Lumenis® IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Acne treatment greatly improves the skins appearance, reducing acne while at the same time treating redness and pigmentation in just a few treatments.

EFFECTIVE ACNE TREATMENT

Combining three high-tech machines in one, the Lumenis® M22 Resurfx treatment offers many kinds of skin resurfacing and enables us to achieve excellent clinical results over a sequence of treatments whilst keeping your comfort maximal and downtime minimal.

During the Lumenis M22 acne treatment, short pulses of intense light are emitted from an applicator onto your skin. The blue light penetrates through the most superficial skin layers and helps eliminate acne bacteria while the infra-red light simultaneously reduces the inflammation or excess sebum (skin oil) production that characterises acne.

IPL technology allows treatment of acne with specific wavelengths of light, which target the bacteria in the skin as well as inflamed sebaceous glands that contribute to breakouts. It is a gentle treatment that addresses both the p.acne bacteria, as well as the pigmentation and redness of your skin.
