IPL Acne Treatment The Acne Problem Acne is a disorder of the
skin's sebaceous glands that results in plugged pores, inflammation, bacterial
infection leading to papules, pustules, ysts and sometimes permanent scarring
of the skin. Being one of the most common skin diseases, over 80% of the
population aged 14-30 will suffer from it regardless of gender, geography or
skin type, and 25% of these will have permanent scars. Though commonly
considered as a teenager problem and usually beginning in adolescence, 20% of
all adults suffer from varying degrees of active acne. For some, it is simply
annoying. For many others however, acne is a significant problem that has a
high impact on their lifestyle and quality of life. There is no single disease
which causes more psychic trauma, more maladjustment between parents and
children, more general insecurity and feelings of inferiority and greater sums
of psychic suffering than does acne vulgaris --Sulzberger & Zaldems. Each
year, approximately $5 billion is spent on acne treatment, most of it on
medication. However many of these acne medications, ranging from
over-the-counter (OTC) to prescription, are expensive and may cause
significant side effects. They require several months of continuous treatment,
and many patients do not respond to them or witness only limited effects. IPL

Hyperkeratinization
that follows hormonal changes increases the sebum production, resulting in a
blocked pore. The Anaerobic situation creates the perfect environment for the
P. Acnes bacterium to reproduce colonies and release porphyrin.

Optimal light wavelength especially green and red penetrates into the follicle
to target the P. Acnes by triggering porphyrin activation. The Green Light
causes the porphyrin molecules to release oxygen radicals. The oxygen radical
attacks the acne bacteria and destroys it.

The Red Light produces anti-nflammatory results. The Heat opens the pores and
speeds up the chemical reaction.
