Acne treatment in Southport
Calm active breakouts and redness for clearer, more comfortable skin.
What is IPL acne treatment?
IPL acne therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to target the bacteria and inflammation involved in breakouts. It can help calm active spots and reduce the redness they leave behind.
It works well alongside a good skincare routine, and we can advise on products to support your results. For acne scarring, RF microneedling may be a better option.
