Acne
Acne can be caused by several environmental factors. Usually, acne is caused by a blockage inside the pore, allowing for sebum to pool-up beneath the blockage and the pore to swell; thus creating a pimple. Intense Pulsed Light technology provides a double action treatment for acne. Heat emitted from the IPL hand piece kills acne bacteria. Specific light wavelengths speed the production of healthy skin cells and stimulate collagen within the skin. This causes visible minimization of the pores, thereby purging the remainder of sebum within the pore. Use of this treatment prevents the oxidation of sebum within the skin, reducing the risk of post-treatment blackheads.
