June is Acne Awareness Month and here at SkinBase we want you to achieve your skin goals, whatever the concern. Acne can impact anyone’s confidence. The good news is there are effective treatments that reduce the frequency and severity of acne breakouts. Find out more about SkinBase Intense Pulsed Light for acne.
Intense Pulsed Light for Acne
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a treatment that gives pulses of targeted light to penetrate your layers of skin. It is a safe and effective option for acne sufferers, and it is excellent at targeting the causes of acne under the skin.
What is IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light for acne uses light therapy to treat skin concerns like acne and scarring in a safe, controlled environment. Specific wavelengths of light target bacteria in the skin, as well as inflamed, oily glands that fuel breakouts. It rejuvenates skin at the same time, reducing signs of ageing and thread veins. It also helps to reduce the appearance of large pores.
IPL Acne Treatments
Intense Pulsed Light promotes the body’s natural healing processes to boost significant changes in the targeted area. Short pulses of light wave energy penetrate deeper levels of the skin without causing damage to the top layer. It helps to:
- Destroy acne bacteria
- Improve swollen lesions
- Paralyse overactive sebaceous glands
Benefits of IPL for Acne
IPL is a non-invasive treatment, requiring no downtime. It targets the underlying causes of acne and can also resolve issues like scarring. By helping to regulate oil production, it reduces the likelihood of future outbreaks. There will be a general improvement in tone and texture – and it stimulates collagen production at the same time. Collagen is an essential protein for natural skin regeneration. IPL for acne is quick and convenient, and very effective for persistent or recurrent acne.
