IPL Acne Management
Clearer, Calmer Skin Without Harsh Products or Downtime
IPL Acne Management is a non-invasive treatment that uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to target the root causes of acne — including bacteria, inflammation, and excess oil production. Using the UltraluxPro device, this treatment delivers controlled light pulses into the skin, where it’s absorbed by acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) and pigmented areas.
How it all works?
The light energy destroys bacteria, reduces redness, and calms active breakouts. It also helps shrink overactive oil glands and stimulates collagen, which improves skin texture and minimizes acne scars.
Safe, gentle, and effective, IPL is ideal for mild to moderate acne and is suitable for both teens and adults. With no downtime and visible results after a series of treatments, it’s a powerful option for those looking for clearer, healthier skin without harsh products or invasive procedures
- Targets Acne-Causing Bacteria - The IPL light is absorbed by porphyrins inside P. acnes bacteria. The light energy destroys the bacteria, helping clear current breakouts and prevent new ones.
- Reduces Redness and Inflammation - Light energy also shrinks small blood vessels and calms inflamed skin, reducing the redness and swelling often seen with acne.
- Controls Oil Production - The heat from IPL gently shrinks overactive sebaceous (oil) glands, minimizing oil buildup that clogs pores.
- Stimulates Healing and Collagen - IPL encourages collagen production, improving skin texture, speeding up healing, and softening acne scars over time
