We can clear mild to moderate inflammatory acne without side effects, discomfort, photo-sensitivity or downtime.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments utilise a high intensity enhanced light source to penetrate through the tissue to destroy acne bacteria quickly and easily – with no side effects, no pain, and without the exposure to antibiotics.

Typically, just 6 -10 treatments (depending on the severity of acne) will greatly improve the appearance of skin as well as evening out the skin tone and producing collagen.

IPL effectively clears most inflammatory acne in a few visits. There are virtually no side effects, no downtime and no exposure to antibiotics using the New Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Technology.

The treatment is non invasive and pain free, with full-face treatments taking only 20-30 minutes. Clients simply lie on a comfortable bed with protective eyewear and the light is applied to the affected area. Once the treatment session is over, clients can return to their daily routine. This means no downtime or inconvenience, especially important factors for active teens and young adults. (Must be 18 years of age to receive IPL treatment)

You can avoid or control most acne with good basic skin care and the following self-care techniques:

• Wash problem areas with a gentle cleanser. Alternate remedies such as facial scrubs, astringents and masks are not recommended because they tend to irritate skin, which can aggravate acne. Excessive washing and scrubbing also have the same effects. If you tend to develop acne around your hairline, shampoo your hair frequently.

• Avoid irritants. You may want to avoid oily or greasy cosmetics, sunscreens, hair-styling products or acne concealers. Use products labelled "water-based" or "no-ncomedogenic." In some instances, the sun may worsen acne.

As a result, try to avoid the sun and use sunscreen.

• Watch what touches your face. Try to avoid objects touching your face. This includes your hair, hands and other foreign objects. Such contact has the effect of increasing the level of dirt and oil activity on your face.

• DON'T pick or squeeze blemishes. Picking or squeezing can cause infection or scarring. Most acne will clear up without this kind of intervention.
