How does IPL Phototherapy for Acne Treatment work?
IPL phototherapy works well with controlling and reducing acne in the skin. This procedure targeted to bacteria that lead to breakouts and excessive oil production are among the core causes of acne. This IPL phototherapy help with:
- Reduction Acne-Causing Bacteria: In order to treat acne IPL phototherapy uses light pulses that enter the skin and specifically target Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne (P. acnes). These microorganisms frequently cause outbreaks and irritation. IPL’s light destroys these microorganisms, afterwards inflammation is decreased and recurrent outbreaks are avoided.
- Minimising Sebum Production: One further advantage of IPL therapy is its capacity to minimise sebum production, oil which clog pores and produce acne. So this procedure can help stop producing new acne from emerging by controlling the production of sebum in the pores .
- Pore Shrinkage: IPL can also aid in the reduction of enlarged pores, which smoothes the appearance of the skin and lessens the chance of whiteheads and blackheads.
Consultation with a specialist:
Before starting the procedure we advise to have a consultation with our specialist, who will analyse your skin condition and determine the best locations for treatment.
Avoid suntan:
Refrain from sun exposure and tanning beds 2-4 weeks before the procedures. Because the light targets pigmented parts of the skin, tanning increases the risk of burns or pigmentation during IPL treatment.
Use sunscreen:
Always use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater to protect your skin from UV radiation, even if you’re not in direct sunshine.
Avoid of hair removal:
A week or more prior to your visit, avoid using wax tweezers or hair removal treatments on the areas that will be treated because they may cause skin irritation.
Arrive skin-clean:
Don’t apply moisturisers, makeup, perfumes or any other products on the regions that will be treated on the day of your treatment.
Avoid clear or harsh treatments:
Don`t do peelings, laser treatments and other harsh skin care procedures one week before RF Lifting.
Hydration:
Use calming and moisturising cosmetics on the skin. This will improve the procedure’s effectiveness and help keep the moisture level of your skin.
Avoid clear heat treatments:
Saunas, hot baths and other treatments that could result in skin overheating should be avoided for a few days after the procedure
Avoid the sun:
Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and avoid direct sunlight for the next two to four weeks after your treatment.
Steer clear of heat treatments:
To prevent overheating of the skin, stay out of hot baths, saunas, hot tubs and physical activity for 48 hours following your treatment.
Do not pick at your skin:
Avoid picking at any tiny scabs or peeling that you may see after the therapy. If you want to avoid dark spots or scars, let your skin recover naturally.
Schedule your next session:
Make your next appointment in 3-4 weeks if you think you’ll benefit most from repeated IPL sessions. This allows your skin to recover and prepare for the upcoming treatment.

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.
