Understanding Active Acne
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that can involve blocked pores, redness, papules and pustules. It may be influenced by hormones, oil production, bacteria, inflammation, skincare and medication. Light-based treatment can be considered for selected patients with inflammatory acne, but it is not suitable for every type of acne and may form only one part of a wider medical or skincare plan.
What Contributes to Acne?
Acne can be influenced by excess sebum, blocked follicles, inflammation, hormonal activity, genetic factors, stress and certain products or medicines. A consultation is important to distinguish active inflammatory acne from acne scarring and other conditions that may look similar.
Nordlys® IPL / Light-Based Acne Treatment
This option may be considered for suitable adults with inflammatory acne who want to discuss a light-based treatment approach. Patients with severe, cystic or medically complex acne may require a different or combined treatment pathway.

Benefits
May reduce visible inflammatory redness in suitable acne; supports clearer-looking skin as part of a personalised plan; treatment can be combined with appropriate medical skincare; non-ablative approach with relatively limited downtime; assessment helps distinguish active acne from acne scars.
Recovery & Downtime
Temporary redness, warmth or mild sensitivity may occur. Avoid picking, irritating products, excessive heat and unprotected sun exposure following treatment. Recovery and aftercare depend on the treatment settings and any additional acne therapies being used.
Treatment Process
The practitioner reviews your acne history, current skincare and medications before examining the skin. If suitable, the area is cleansed, protective eyewear is provided and controlled light pulses are delivered. A personalised aftercare and skincare plan is discussed.
Results
Improvement usually develops over a course of treatment rather than immediately. Acne can be influenced by ongoing hormonal and inflammatory factors, so maintenance skincare or additional medical treatment may be required. Results vary.

Will IPL permanently cure acne?
Selected IPL treatments may help suitable inflammatory acne concerns. A consultation is needed because cystic acne, comedonal acne and acne scars may require different treatment plans.
No. Active acne and acne scars are different concerns. IPL may be considered for selected inflammatory acne, while FRAX skin resurfacing is more commonly used for textural acne scars.
A course is often recommended, but the number of sessions depends on acne severity, skin response and any other treatments included in your plan.
Your practitioner will advise which products to continue or pause. Retinoids, exfoliating acids and certain medications may need to be adjusted around treatment.
No treatment can guarantee a permanent cure because acne can be influenced by hormones and other ongoing factors. The aim is to improve the condition and support a sustainable management plan.
