Laser IPL Acne Treatment

Acne is the most common skin problem in the United States, affecting not only teenagers, But up to 80 percent of people in their 20s and 30s. This stubborn conditions is typically treated with oral and topical medications, which can produce good results but often with undesirable side effects. We can offer our patients in Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra an alternative treatment: Palomar pulsed Light Systems. Palomar systems deliver concentrated light pulses, which attack acne on two fronts: Destroys acne bacteria for a quick clearance of current acne breakouts. Penetrates into the hyperactive sebaceous glands to slow down the production of sebum, which can clog pores and cause future acne breakouts. The results are fast resolution of current breakouts and a long remission time between treatments, without any drug-related side effects.

What should I expect after treatment?

Our patients in Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach and Ponte Vedra can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually lasts 2 to 24 hours, and can be soothed with gel or ice packs. There may be an initial flare-up of acne, similar to the kind seen after a peel procedure or the beginning of a new topical or oral acne medication. Some of the blemishes may appear redder. They will then fade after 2 to 3 weeks. A reduction in the number of lesions and the prevention of new lesion formation can be expected following your treatment course.

How is Palomar Pulsed Light different from a laser?

Pulsed Light systems and lasers are very similar, but Palomar Pulsed Light Systems use a much larger treatment window than most lasers. This spreads light over a wider area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result.

What are Palomar Pulsed Light treatments like?

Our Jacksonville Cosmetic Surgery Center nurse practitioner will move the hand piece over your skin, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will send a beam of light through your skin. A flashing light, an audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the hand piece is being pulsed. This sensation produces little to no discomfort.
