It works on the principle of a large volume penetration of highly intensifying, pulsating controlled heat, the control element prevents thermal skin damages, IPL energetic heat is used at a various wavelength for selective treatment of veins and capillaries, hair epilation, all depending on the treatment nature for which IPL is applied to.
In this way, IPL technology treats acne with a specific heat wave length thus destroying skin bacteria and controlling any inflammatory skin processes and excess excretion of sebum from glands which are in charge of controlling our oily skin, subsequently causing acne appearance.
