IPL Acne solution

Clean, healthy skin is the key to self-confidence. More than half of all visits to a dermatologist are associated with acne. Symptoms of acne include enlarged pores, oily sheen, blackheads, inflammation and acne scars. Although acne is considered a teenage condition, now it’s rather frequent cases for adults as well. Taking control of acne is a real problem, it is a chronic inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands.

A large number of doctors agree that the most effective and gentle way to treat acne is acne phototherapy (IPL-technology). The IPL acne treatment program has a powerful bactericidal effect on the skin and reduces sebum production without side effects. The doctors of our clinic successfully treat acne and post-acne with an IPL procedure. IPL acne treatment significantly reduce the number of rashes, normalize increased sebum secretion, as well as prevent and reduce the effects of acne.

Phototherapy on the IPL M22 Lumenis laser is one of the most effective methods of treating acne in modern dermatology. IPL phototherapy on M22 is a two directions treatment, the procedure guarantees both anti-inflammatory and anti-toxic effect. No other technique has yet had such a powerful bactericidal effect.

The IPL system is based on BroadBand pulsed light technology. The light activates porphyrin, a special pigment produced by the bacteria Propionibacterium Acnes. Porphyrin begins to generate singlet oxygen, which is fixed on the cell membranes of these bacteria, destroying them and at the same time significantly reducing the activity of the sebaceous glands.

During acne treatment with the IPL system, short pulses of intense light are emitted from the applicator to the skin. Flashes of light stick together the capillaries that feed the sebaceous gland. Due to a lack of nutrition, the sebaceous gland is forced to reduce the production of sebum. Thus, bacteria lose their nutrient medium, their number is reduced. As a result, the number of new skin rashes is reduced, and existing comedones are removed. IPL phototherapy removes the root cause of acne.  As an additional option for acne treatment, the M22 device can be used with the Acne filter, which has an antibacterial effect on the skin. 

Depending on the severity of acne, 4-6 sessions are usually required with a break of 4 weeks between treatments to see an improvement in skin condition – the skin is 80-90% cleared of acne!
