Acne is a common problem faced not only by teenagers but also by adults. Oily shine, enlarged pores, comedones, and inflammatory elements spoil the appearance of the skin and can become a cause of psychological discomfort. One of the factors in the development of inflammation is anaerobic bacteria, which actively multiply in conditions of insufficient oxygen and contribute to the appearance of breakouts.
Attempts to cope with acne on your own do not always produce the desired result and, in some cases, can lead to the appearance of scars, uneven skin texture, and persistent post-inflammatory marks.
At the Laserhouse Center in Wrocław, phototherapy is used for acne correction — a modern hardware-based method based on the effects of light energy. The procedure targets bacterial flora, helps reduce inflammatory processes and the number of breakouts.

How Does Acne Phototherapy Work?
When the sebaceous glands are overactive, sebum production increases, pores become clogged, and a favorable environment for the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria forms inside them. In the course of their activity, they break down sebum into fatty acids, which contributes to the development of inflammation, redness, and painful breakouts.
The Lumenis M22 platform is used to perform acne phototherapy at the Laserhouse Center in Wrocław. A special IPL handpiece generates targeted light pulses that affect inflamed areas without damaging healthy skin.
Phototherapy provides a comprehensive effect:
- affects the bacteria involved in the development of acne;
- reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands by affecting sebocyte cells;
- stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve skin texture and its restoration.
After completing the course, the number of inflammatory elements noticeably decreases, the skin texture becomes more even, oily shine is reduced, and pores become less pronounced. Unlike superficial skincare products, phototherapy affects one of the factors in the development of acne — bacterial flora, helping to reduce inflammation and the likelihood of new breakouts.
Advantages of Phototherapy for Acne
- Versatility. Phototherapy can be performed on different areas of the body, including the face, back, and chest. The method is suitable for patients of different ages and can be used at any time of the year, since the equipment parameters are adjusted according to the skin phototype.
- Comfort during the session. During the treatment, the patient mainly feels pleasant warmth or slight tingling. The Lumenis M22 continuous contact cooling system prevents the skin from overheating and ensures a comfortable procedure.
- Targeted action. IPL pulses are directed at inflammatory elements without damaging the surrounding healthy tissues or having a systemic effect on the body.
- Minimal recovery period. Slight redness may appear after the session, which goes away on its own within a short period of time. The patient can return to their usual daily activities as early as the next day.
- Speed and comprehensive effect. The procedure does not take much time, and the first positive changes can be noticed after the first session. A course of phototherapy helps reduce the number and severity of breakouts while simultaneously affecting one of the causes of their appearance — pathogenic bacteria.
