IPL Acne Treatment London

This treatment is widely recognised as an effective solution for mild to moderate Inflammatory Acne.

It has been shown that the major bacterial cause of Acne, Propionibacterium Acnes can be destroyed by the application of light.
The Intense Pulse Light treatments greatly reduce the number of active lesions, lessening the inflammation and frequency of breakouts.
The IPL works within the skin causing no damage, irritation or downtime.

How Laserlife IPL Acne Treatment works

The IPL light is absorbed by the hemoglobin which heats up the area producing a minor reaction to the sebaceous glands. This will slow down the production of oil that leads to Acne and enlarged pore size.
Our system penetrates deeply into the skin, heating the overactive sebaceous glands and reducing sebum output. It is thought that reversible thermal damage to sebaceous glands can result in long term remission from acne.

The IPL Treatment will also produce new collagen which means there will be fewer scars, fine lines and wrinkles will be reduced
We only use Yellow light. Recent studies indicate that Yellow light, which has a greater skin penetration depth than blue light is more effective at targeting the bacteria that causes Acne.

Georgia is a miracle worker! Have been going here for tattoo laser removal sessions after disappointing treatment elsewhere and they’re so friendly, knowledgeable, personable & super effective. Couldn’t recommend highly enough and they don’t overcharge

I felt very welcomed at the clinic and received great advice. Lissy (apologies, I don’t know if that’s the correct spelling) is very friendly and knows which treatment is needed for different problems. Everything was very clean and treatment efficient. Staff is super friendly and responsive even via email. I would for sure return. Many thanks!

Laserlife is not only great for general skincare, but they also excel in acne treatment! Their expertise in addressing acne concerns is impressive. Georga one of their staff members, is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. She'll make sure you feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout your treatment. You're in good hands at Laserlife! 😊👍

Such a great location! Very welcoming ambiance. I had a good and relaxing time! Thank you Marlyn for removing my Milia (white cysts on my skin). It was a good experienced and I feel more confident after the treatment Shout out too- for removing my son's skin tag - it was painless according to him . Will surely be coming back!

Very happy with veruca treatment provided by Lizzie. My autistic daughter was very nervous about the treatment hurting. Lizzie was extremely patient and understanding and put my daughter at ease. The treatment was completely successful. We hope for no more verucas, but we will certainly come back here if we need more treatment.

Had an IV drip with Marlyn - highly recommended! A very friendly and welcoming person who goes beyond your expectations. Just one session and already seen a difference! Very excited and looking forward to my next sessions already.

I was concerned about Milia which I had after my baby. I was treated for my Milia, the staff is very professional and goes beyond their way to give me the results. My skin Milia is gone, and after the treatment I find my skin fresh and glowing. Specially thanks to Lizzie she is very helpful during my treatment to navigate all my concerns as my Milia were around my eyes uncountable. I feel confident with myself, thanks Laserlife clinic 👍 you All are super star ⭐️

IPL Acne Treatment – The Process

Step 1 - Initial Consultation

Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where the details about you medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a patch test 24 hours before treatment.

Step 2 - The Treatment

With IPL a layer of chilled gel is applied to the treatment area. The light applicator is placed on the skin and a short pulsed light is released. The applicator is then moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. The chilled gel is removed and aloe Vera and an SPF is applied. During the treatment protective eye wear will be provided. Most clients describe the discomfort as mild and tolerable and no anaesthetic is required.

Step 3 - Recovery

The treated area may feel warm and sensitive for the first few days post treatment.

Step 4 - Aftercare

No sun exposure for up to 30 days prior to treatment.
No fake tan or gradual tan for 10 days prior to treatment
No use of topical retinol products to be used in the treated area 3 days prior to treatment.
We recommend 6 sessions 2 weeks apart for best results.
