How does IPL treat acne?

IPL treats acne by reducing sebaceous gland activity, targeting the bacteria that causes spots, and reducing inflammation. Light pulses penetrate the skin where they generate oxygen that destroys the bacteria whilst decreasing blood flow to the sebaceous glands. This calms the skin and reduces sebum production, helping to prevent future breakouts.

Superior to traditional treatments

IPL has great advantages over traditional acne treatments like topical retinoids, antibiotics, and oral medications. Firstly, it avoids the nasty side effects associated with oral medications and antibiotics. Secondly, IPL treatments are quick and involve minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately.

Benefits that last!

There are many long-term studies documenting the benefits of IPL therapy. Research published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology followed patients for six months post-treatment and found that the majority maintained their improved skin condition, with reduced acne and lower sebum production.

High levels of patient satisfaction

Patient satisfaction after IPL is notably high, seeing not only significant reductions in acne but also improvements in skin texture and tone. Thanks to its non-invasive nature and minimal side effects, it remains a leading treatment choice delivering clearer skin and an improved quality of life.

Next Steps & How to Book

Before any IPL treatment commences you will need a 30 minute skin consultation and patch text to ensure we create the optimum treatment protocol for your skin type and desired result. This will also give you a chance to discuss any questions or concerns. The consultation costs £30 but this is redeemable against your IPL treatment. You can book online, or by phone (07881 958093) and email (amy@massagetherapy-brighton.co.uk)
