Acne and Acne scars IPL treatment - IPL Treatment for Acne
In case you’re wondering about the difference between IPL and laser treatments, here’s an easy analogy: If you have a date and want to look good when you leave the clinic, choose an IPL treatment, buts its effects may not last as long as a laser treatment as it is more superficial. If you have pressing issues like scars and can afford downtime, a laser treatment is more suitable.
Ash, suffers from active acne, depressed scars and acne marks. She has tried facials, which left her with even more scars and is using medical skincare to control her acne. When I met her, she was also suffering from a breakout and had red, angry- looking pimples on her cheeks.
Dr Shiau took a look at her skin and recommended the Aqua Peel treatment for her. The Aqua Peel treatment is a unique combination of diamond microdermabrasion, lactic acid peel and vitamin infusion. Microdermbrasion will exfoliate her skin as well as help loosen blackheads and whiteheads, lactic acid to lighten her skin and vitamin infusion to hydrate her skin. Dr Shiau will also do two different IPL treatments – the blue light IPL for acne followed by another photorejuvenation IPL for acne scars.
After cleansing Ash’s face, Eve, the therapist, started the diamond microdermabrasion using a device with a suction effect. This device is slowly rubbed all over Ash’s neck and face. According to Ash, the procedure feels comfortable despite the sucking effect. Eve changed the device to a smaller head to focus on smaller areas like the nose. This was followed by the lactic acid which was sprayed on Ash’s face and massaged into the skin, creating a tingling sensation. Another serum was sprayed and massaged on the face, this time it was a multi-vitamin infusion - containing Vitamin C, A and antioxidants. After pampering the skin, Eve performed a quick extraction to remove some clogged pores but she left the big pimples alone as they were not “ripe” yet.
Eve then applied a cold gel on Ash’s face to get her ready for her IPL. According to Dr Shiau, the IPL process will feel like you are “getting slapped with a wet towel”. However, when I checked with Ash later, she says that it actually feels more like ant bites. First up, the blue light IPL which is 410 wavelength, followed by the photorejuvenation IPL at 560 wavelength. “The shorter the wavelength, the stronger the IPL and the more painful,” explains Dr Shiau. The IPL process took about 10 minutes and consisted mostly of very bright lights and a loud, snapping sound. To finish off Ash’s skin treatment, a soothing tea tree mask is applied, followed by Vitamin C serum to repair skin.
“IPL stimulates collagen within and is more suitable for fairer skin. Young women love doing IPL as it has an immediate brightening and glowing effect,” says Dr Shiau. True enough, Ash’s face did look fairer and felt smoother after the entire treatment. To enjoy better results, five to six treatments are recommended.

Is Spider Vein Treatment Permanent?
Spider veins are small unsightly veins near the surface of the skin. They can appear red, blue, or any shade of purple. They sometimes appear as single veins separated throughout the face, or in a number of clusters. These veins commonly appear in the face and in the legs. There are three main treatment avenues for spider veins.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the process of injecting spider veins with a compound that causes them to collapse and dissolve, and the veins are then moved to the surface of the skin and sloughed off by the body. Following treatment, bruises may appear and the coloration of the veins many worsen for a couple of weeks. The results of the treatment can take a month or longer to be fully evident. Once the results are achieved, those particular veins will be forever gone. On the other hand, new veins are growing all the time, which prevents vein treatment from being permanent.
Electrodesiccation
In electrodesiccation, electrical current is applied to the spider veins, leading them to swell, close, and die. The main disadvantage to this treatment is that it can leave scars from the damage electricity does to the skin.
Photorejuvenation
There are a number of photorejuvenation techniques that can be used for the treatment of spider veins. These include intense pulsed light (IPL) and broadband light (BBL) treatments. These treatments use a process known as selective photothermolysis to destroy unsightly spider veins. In this process, the light applied to the skin penetrates the veins, which absorb the light energy, becoming heated and destroyed. Then the veins are moved to the surface and shed by the body as in sclerotherapy. Lasers are not good for vein treatment because cosmetic lasers all emit in the red spectrum, which is poorly absorbed by the veins.
How Permanent Is Vein Therapy?
Vein therapy provides long-lasting reduction of spider veins. All treatments provide a 50-90 % reduction in spider veins that can be permanent. However, as long as any underlying conditions that can contribute to spider veins--including high blood pressure, obesity, and pregnancy--continue, spider veins are likely to return. The rate at which they return depends on the individual, but it is usually measured in years.
