IPL technology can be used either as an alternative or as a supplement to conventional acne treatment. IPL treatment can be used at any stage of acne.
With the IPL treatment several sessions (6-8 sessions) are necessary, the interval between sessions is approx. 1 month. The IPL treatment reduces the inflammatory skin changes. The acne lesions can thus recede more quickly and scarring can be prevented under certain circumstances.
The acne treatment can be combined very well with fruit acid peelings.
We would be happy to advise you on a care system from dermalogica that is customised for acne.
In contrast to many devices that do not achieve the expected success, we work with a new technology that enables a relatively high energy input by splitting the light pulses into several so-called daughter pulses. The pulse length and pause times can also be precisely adjusted. This allows for more intensive treatment that is gentle on the skin and tissue. Depending on the respective indication, treatment is carried out at different wavelengths using a special treatment head. This is also very important in order to achieve the desired success.
To protect against UV radiation and pigment damage, avoid direct and unprotected exposure to the sun both before and after the procedure.

Acne is one of the most common skin diseases worldwide. It leads to the formation of severe pimples as well as pustules, papules and blackheads. These blemishes usually appear on the forehead, cheeks and chin. The décolleté and back can also be affected.
Acne is mainly caused by blockage of the ducts of the sebaceous glands (hyperkeratosis) in combination with an overproduction of sebum (seborrhoea). When the sebaceous glands become keratinised, the sebum builds up and blackheads form. These can break open and attract bacteria that break down the sebum. This produces cleavage products that can trigger inflammatory reactions. The result: after a short time, pimples form on the affected areas.
Acne mainly occurs in adolescents (puberty acne). Blemished skin is related to physical and hormonal changes during this phase of life. However, adults can also develop acne.
Late acne, also known as acne tarda, usually occurs from the age of 25. It often affects women who suddenly develop blemished skin with blackheads and spots. Stopping the pill can favour these blemishes, as can pregnancy or the menopause. Other triggers for late acne can be stress, unhealthy lifestyle habits, incorrect skin care and side effects of medication.
The name can be confusing: Strictly speaking, acne inversa is not a classic acne that affects the sebaceous glands, but a disease of the sweat glands.
Acne inversa is characterised by extensive inflammation of the sweat glands and hair follicles, mainly in the armpits and genitals. The disease leads to lumps, abscesses, fistulas, frequent scarring and severe pain in the affected areas.
Without treatment, acne inversa can become chronic and significantly impair quality of life. Treatment is carried out with medication, but in many cases hospitalisation and surgical procedures are required.
Depending on the form and severity of your acne, various therapies can help:
Chemical peeling uses highly concentrated and effective acids from various natural substances, such as salicylic acid (also known as beta-hydroxy acid or BHA acid). This acid, which is mainly found in willow bark, has been known for its effects for centuries. Salicylic acid is fat-soluble and is therefore ideal for treating oily and blemished skin. It reduces skin impurities, frees the pores from excess sebum, removes dead skin cells and minimises redness. It also promotes skin renewal, minimises large pores and can improve the appearance of acne scars.
Also Fruit acid peels can fight acne very well. They contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic, lactic or citric acid, which help to exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells and cleanse the pores. This can improve skin texture, reduce blemishes and minimise the appearance of acne scars. Fruit acid peels can also promote skin renewal and refine the skin's overall appearance.
