The Power of IPL & ResurFX Laser for Acne and Acne Scars
The Power of IPL & ResurFX Laser for Acne and Acne Scars
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting millions of people of all ages. While breakouts themselves can be frustrating, the lasting redness, scars, and pigmentation left behind can be just as challenging to treat. Fortunately, advancements in laser technology have made it possible to effectively address both active acne and post-acne scarring with non-invasive treatments. At Dermalier Clinic in Orlando, we offer IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ResurFX laser treatments, two cutting-edge procedures that help reduce breakouts, calm redness, and improve skin texture for a smoother, clearer complexion.
How IPL & ResurFX Work for Acne & Acne Scars
IPL for Active Acne and Redness Reduction
IPL, sometimes referred to as a BBL (BroadBand Light) photofacial, uses pulses of intense light to target and eliminate acne-causing bacteria, calm inflammation, and reduce redness left behind by breakouts. The treatment penetrates deep into the skin, destroying Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria while also shrinking oil glands to reduce future breakouts. IPL is especially beneficial for individuals struggling with hormonal acne, rosacea, or persistent redness from acne scars (post-inflammatory erythema - PIE).
ResurFX for Acne Scars & Skin Resurfacing
ResurFX is an advanced fractional non-ablative laser that stimulates collagen and elastin production to repair acne scars, smooth uneven skin texture, and refine pores. Unlike IPL, which focuses on pigmentation and redness, ResurFX creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response to generate new, healthy skin cells. This process helps fade atrophic acne scars, ice pick scars, boxcar scars, and rolling scars, making the skin appear firmer and more youthful.
Key Benefits of IPL & ResurFX for Acne & Scarring
✔️ Clears Active Acne – IPL kills bacteria and reduces excess oil production.
✔️ Fades Redness & Hyperpigmentation – IPL breaks down post-acne discoloration for a more even tone.
✔️ Smooths Acne Scars & Improves Texture – ResurFX triggers collagen renewal, softening deep scars.
✔️ Shrinks Pores & Enhances Skin Elasticity – Laser resurfacing refines skin texture.
✔️ Minimal Downtime – IPL and ResurFX offer a non-invasive alternative to more aggressive treatments.
✔️ Long-Lasting Results – With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last for months to years.
What to Expect During an IPL & ResurFX Session
At Dermalier Clinic in Orlando, every IPL & ResurFX treatment is customized to suit your specific skin needs. A full session typically takes 30-45 minutes, with little to no downtime. Here’s what you can expect:
Step 1: Consultation & Skin Analysis
During your consultation, we assess your skin to determine whether IPL, ResurFX, or a combination of both is the best treatment for you.
Step 2: Pre-Treatment Preparation
Your skin will be cleansed, and a cooling gel will be applied to enhance comfort.
For ResurFX, a topical numbing cream may be used to minimize any discomfort.
Step 3: IPL or ResurFX Laser Treatment
IPL Treatment: Pulses of light are applied to areas with acne, redness, or pigmentation to destroy bacteria and reduce inflammation.
ResurFX Treatment: The fractional laser delivers controlled heat into the skin, stimulating collagen production and gradually improving skin texture and scars.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care & Recovery
Mild redness or swelling may occur, similar to a light sunburn, but typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
ResurFX may cause mild peeling or flaking as the skin renews itself over the next few days.
We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing SPF to protect your skin post-treatment.
