Photo rejuvenation is a light-based treatment to target a wide range of skin concerns: hyperpigmentation, sun damage, broken capillaries, telangiectasia, rosacea, acne, acne scarring, dilated pores, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven complexion.
CPL can be used as a treatment for active acne. The principle behind using CPL for acne treatment is to target and destroy the bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) responsible for acne breakouts, as well as to reduce inflammation and redness associated with acne lesions.
