Acne is a very common skin condition that affects 95% of teenagers and adults to some extent over the course of their lifetime. Acne is commonly triggered by hormonal changes. In response, the sebaceous gland (found in the hair follicle) produces too much oil, or ‘sebum’, which captures dead skin, debris and, in turn, clogs up the follicles. Bacteria builds up in the sebaceous (oil-producing) gland which travels up the hair follicle and out to the skin’s surface, this results in blackheads, whiteheads, red or pus-filled spots, and inflamed skin. Acne is easily recognised by the appearance of the spots on the face, neck, chest, or back.

Why Treat Acne with IPL?

If you’re hoping to reduce redness, combat spots, lessen inflammation and the frequency of your breakouts, acne-prone skin can be effectively treated with Lynton Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) alone or in combination with other devices and technologies available at Advanced Aesthetics including antibacterial blue light therapy. By directly addressing the p. acnes bacteria you will experience clearer skin and an improvement in the tone, texture, and appearance of your skin.
