Acne Treatment

Overview

Treat the acne journey, not just the breakout

Acne patients rarely present with one concern. A treatment plan may need to address active breakouts, oiliness and congestion, post-acne redness, post-inflammatory pigment, enlarged pores, and eventually scarring.

That is why acne works best as a treatment category rather than a single protocol.

DPL Elite anchors the active-acne side of that category with a dedicated AC mode and adjustable narrowband light delivery. From there, the same practice can move the patient into pigment, redness, rejuvenation, or scar-focused services as the skin changes.

Active acne first

When breakouts are active, the treatment objective is different from scar remodeling. DPL Elite gives the clinic a non-invasive light-based pathway that can be built into a planned acne series alongside the provider’s broader skincare and medical-acne strategy.

The platform’s filtered-light architecture and contact cooling make it well suited to repeat treatments across larger facial areas, while professional settings allow the provider to adjust treatment to skin type and presentation.

Then address what acne leaves behind

Once active breakouts improve, many patients are left with a second set of concerns:

• persistent redness
• uneven pigment
• visible pores
• rough texture
• established acne scars

That creates a natural treatment ladder. DPL Elite can continue into redness, pigment, and skin-quality work. For deeper textural scarring, the clinic can move into PicoMatrix™ on the Pro 1 Pico or fractional CO₂ pathways.

A recurring category for aesthetic practices

Acne treatment lends itself to planned series, progress photography, skincare integration, and long-term maintenance. For a clinic, that means the service can evolve with the patient instead of ending after one concern improves.

Treatment suitability and parameters are determined by the provider, and results vary.
