Frequently asked questions
Intense Pulsed Light targets acne in two ways. We use the blue and yellow light to destroy the bacteria that cause the acne. Additionally, infrared wavelengths penetrate deeply into the skin, heating the overactive sebaceous glands and reducing sebum output. The heating of the skin will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which may improve the appearance of acne scarring.
There are numerous factors that can cause acne, and multiple triggers that can be associated with an outbreak. These include genes, hormones, products, air pollution, stress, drugs, and certain conditions such as poly cystic ovary syndrome.
Face Peels that contain Salicylic Acid are known to be beneficial to acne treatment. We have a specialised tri fruit acid peel that can work in conjunction with the laser treatment. This face peel will unclog pores and decrease the amount of oil on the skin.
