What Can IPL treat

SkinLab clinics integrate advanced acne treatment medical devices to offer highly effective, technology-driven skin care solutions that address the root causes of breakouts.

Unlike traditional treatments, these devices utilize targeted light therapy to combat acne-causing bacteria while reducing inflammation, resulting in clearer, healthier skin without downtime

Acne can take many different forms. For example, it can cause blackheads and whiteheads, which are clogged pores filled with sebum, or oil and cellular debris.

Whiteheads are ones that haven’t pushed all the way to the skin’s surface as blackheads have, which causes their dark color. Acne can also take the form of papules and pustules.

Papules are tiny pimples that measure less than 0.5 centimeters across, they are sometimes called pinheads; Pustules are another type of pimple; they are larger than papules and contain pus. Other painful forms of acne such as nodules and cysts can also form. Nodules are larger papules that form deeper into the skin, whereas cysts, which resemble boils, are closed pockets of tissue that contain pus.

Thanks to IPL treatment for acne reduction, however, you can effectively target both the cause and visible symptoms of acne-related skin conditions like the above.

How it Works

Venus Concept’s Venus Versa™ acne treatments use dual lights that work to heal existing acne-related inflammation, while also destroying acne-causing bacteria to minimize future breakouts.

Sometimes referred to as IPL photofacial for acne, IPL for acne produces noticeably smoother, healthier-looking skin that you’ll be happy to show off

What to expect

The IPL treatment feels like a light snap or flick on the surface of the skin.

Your skin may feel warm and look slightly red for a few hours afterwards – completely normal and temporary.
