IPL phototherapy is an innovative  technique created to successfully treat scars and marks left behind by acne, giving you smooth, toned skin. ost-acne scarring is not only a cosmetic concern but can also impact your confidence and overall well-being. Our IPL procedure helps to repair damaged skin by lowering redness, increasing the synthesis of collagen and addressing the underlying causes of discolouration and scarring. The process leaves your skin feeling renewed and rejuvenated by reducing dark spots, balancing out skin tone, and enhancing texture. We concentrate on providing long-lasting results that reduce scarring and bring back the natural brightness of your skin using a personalised strategy tailored to your skin’s specific demands. Our team of professionals ensures safe and effective treatment, helping you achieve the smooth, flawless skin you deserve.

How does IPL Phototherapy for Post-Acne Treatment work?

Dealing with the aftermath of acne can be just as challenging as the breakouts themselves. Long time redness, pigmentation and post-acne scarring frequently persist. IPL phototherapy addresses these problems at their root, providing an efficacious remedy. Using IPL, you may even out skin tone, smooth out the surface of the skin and lessen the visibility of scars by addressing discoloration and increasing collagen synthesis.

  • Boosting Collagen Synthesis: Sometimes is difficult to treat scars and pigmentation resulting from acne.But IPL phototherapy promotes the creation of collagen in the skin’s deeper layers, which stimulates to repair damaged skin, enhance its texture and lessen the visibility of scars. This causes the skin’s surface to smooth out and makes post-acne scars less noticeable over time.
  • Decrease in Redness and Pigmentation: IPL helps remove and disperse the discoloration caused by acne by targeting the skin’s pigmented patches and blood vessels. This can give you a more even and clear complexion by successfully reducing redness, dark spots and discoloration of the skin.
  • Evening Out Skin Tone: IPL helps to enhance general skin texture and level out skin tone by focusing on hyperpigmentation and promoting the creation of new cells, leaving your skin looking more youthful and vibrant.

Contraindications for the Procedure
Pregnancy and lactation
It is not advised to have the procedure done when pregnant or breastfeeding.
Active skin infections or inflammation
It is contraindicated to have active infections or inflammatory processes, such as herpes simplex (cold sores), eczema, psoriasis or severe acne in the treatment region
Photosensitivity
IPL treatment is not recommended to patients who have a history of photosensitivity, which is a high sensitivity to light, or who are taking medications that promote photosensitivity, such as some antibiotics, accutane for acne, or chemotherapy medicine.
Sunburned or Tanned Skin
IPL raises the risk of burns, hyperpigmentation, and other negative effects, hence it is not advised for skin that has recently become tanned or sunburned. Before and after the procedure, patients should refrain from tanning for at least  2-4 weeks.
Very Dark Skin Tones
For those with extremely dark skin tones, IPL is less effective and may result in a higher risk of adverse effects, including burns and hyperpigmentation (Fitzpatrick skin types V and VI). For certain people, alternative therapy choices could be more appropriate.
Blood Thinner Usage
Patients on anticoagulants, which thin the blood, may be more vulnerable to bleeding or bruises both during and after the procedure. Speaking with a healthcare professional is crucial prior to having IPL surgery.
Use of Retinoids or Tanning Products Lately
IPL should not be used by anyone who has used self-tanning products or topical retinoids (like Retin-A) in the last two weeks since these can increase skin sensitivity and the possibility of negative effects.
Long-Term Medical Conditions
Before contemplating IPL phototherapy, patients with specific chronic health issues, such as uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or active cancer, should speak with their healthcare professional.
Intraoral or Pacemaker Devices
IPL treatments should be avoided by people who have pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices since the light pulses may cause interference with their functionality.
Tattooed Areas
IPL should not be used on skin that has already received tattoos since the light may react with the ink, resulting in burns, fading, or other issues.
Fresh Surgery or Open Wounds
Until the skin has completely healed, the technique should not be performed on places that include cuts, open wounds or recent surgical sites.
Age Restriction

IPL Phototherapy is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Minors are not eligible for the procedure, as hormonal changes during adolescence can affect hair growth and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
