Acne treatments work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection. With most prescription acne treatments, you may not see results for four to eight weeks, and your skin may get worse before it gets better. Results Laser Clinic uses Intense Pulse Light to destroy acne. A new and effective light based therapeutic treatment for acne. IPL works by sending intense light through the skin that is of a wavelength specific for killing acne bacteria and drying up overactive oil glands. Because the light is specifically tuned for acne, the results are seen a lot more effectively and sooner than prescription medication. As IPL acne treatments do not cause skin or other tissue damage, there is minimal pain and redness after the procedure. Minimal downtime follows the treatment, meaning clients can return to work shortly after treatment.
