Who are the best candidates for IPL Acne Treatments?
This treatment works best for people with light colored skin because the pigment in our skin (melanin) also absorbs the light energy. Darker skin can be treated but the light energy must be delivered at a lower power to prevent burning the skin. As a result, darker skin will likely require more treatments. This includes skin with tans resulting from exposure to the sun, tanning beds, or the application of tanning lotions. IPL treatments should not be performed if you have taken Accutane within the past twelve months.
