You will experience a sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band on the skin, each time the IPL hand piece is applied.

IPL Acne treatments work by delivering precise pulses of light into the skin to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. The light energy helps calm active breakouts, regulate excess oil production, and support the skin’s natural healing process—resulting in clearer, smoother, and more balanced skin.

Using a spectrum of light wavelengths, IPL can be adjusted to specifically treat acne-prone skin, helping to minimise redness, control congestion, and prevent future breakouts.

The light is delivered through a smooth, flat glass handpiece that is gently placed over the skin. During treatment, the selected wavelength is absorbed into the targeted areas, reducing bacteria and inflammation while promoting healthier skin function.

While IPL Acne Treatments benefit many types of acne, especially inflammatory acne (red, swollen pimples), the effectiveness can vary. This treatment is typically more effective for inflammatory acne than non-inflammatory types, like blackheads and whiteheads. The response to IPL depends on individual skin types and the severity of acne. At Beauty One Aesthetics, our skincare specialists can assess your acne condition and advise whether IPL is the most suitable treatment option for you

The number of IPL Acne Treatments required for noticeable results varies based on individual skin conditions and acne severity. Generally, a series of sessions, usually spaced 1-2 weeks apart, is recommended. Each treatment session builds upon the previous, gradually reducing acne and improving skin condition. During your initial consultation at Beauty One Aesthetics, we will provide a customised treatment plan, including an estimated number of sessions to achieve optimal results for your specific skin needs.

IPL Acne Treatments are known for their safety and minimal side effects. Common, temporary side effects include redness, mild swelling, and a tingling sensation post-treatment. These typically resolve quickly, allowing most clients to immediately return to their daily activities. At Beauty One Aesthetics, we ensure our clients are fully informed about the procedure. To guarantee a comfortable and speedy recovery with the least amount of recovery time, we offer comprehensive aftercare instructions.

IPL Acne Treatments can also be effective in treating acne scars. The technology helps stimulate collagen production, a key factor in skin healing and rejuvenation. This stimulation can improve the skin's texture and reduce the appearance of scars over time. IPL can help acne scars, but how well it works will depend on the kind and extent of the scarring. Our specialists at Beauty One Aesthetics can assess your skin and scars to determine if IPL is an appropriate treatment option for your specific condition.
