IPL addresses acne by targeting the porphyrins produced by P. acnes bacteria and by reducing excess oil production. Light energy penetrates into sebaceous glands, lowering sebum output and reducing inflammation. Simultaneously, the heat helps clear existing breakouts and prevents new ones from forming. Clients typically undergo a series of 4–6 treatments for optimal control, achieving clearer, calmer skin with fewer pustules and reduced post‑inflammatory redness.
