IPL for Acne? Does IPL disables the overactive oil glands, causing them to shrink and controls the overproduction of sebum (oil)?

A: Headed for Disappointment

IPL can work great for treating photodamaged skin and redness. I think you will be very unhappy and feel that you have wasted your money using IPL to treat overactive oil glands. I think you will get better results, and less costly ones, seeking more traditional care.

IPL Vs Different Photorejuvenation Laser Systems I am considering IPL. What is the difference between CynergyPL and The Palomar Photorejuvenation lasers? How do they compare to IPL? Which one is better?

A: Experienced Physician

I concur that the most important thing is the physician operating the device. It is critical that you seek the services of the most highly qualified physician as compared to "device shopping". Technologies change and some come and go. The most important thing is to seek the care of a well trained, honest and ethical physician.
