Acne is a condition in which the sebaceous glands in the skin become inflamed, resulting in the formation of pimples and painful swellings around these glands. This skin condition often begins at a young age but can persist or start in later years. It predominantly affects the face, chest, back, and shoulders, where anatomically the largest number of sebaceous follicles are located.
At Solution Clinic, we use IPL for the treatment of acne. If necessary, this can be complemented with a chemical peel and product recommendations. Our approach is aimed at managing the acne and/or minimizing the skin damage caused by it, such as scars and pigmentation issues. The choice of which treatment or combination of treatments to apply depends, in part, on the severity of the acne and the patient’s specific needs. A treatment plan is developed through collaborative consultation between the skin therapist and the client.

Expected result
Depending on the gradation and form of the acne it is important to get acne under control first. We do this by tackling the bacteria with IPL or a chemical peeling. After that, the treatment can be focused on addressing the scars.
Number of treatments required
On average, 5 treatments are needed with an interval of 1 to 2 weeks. After that, a maintenance process will take place (if necessary) to keep the acne under control.
Reimbursement
Treatment for acne on the face is typically fully or partially covered by supplementary insurance. For more information, please visit your health insurer’s website. In many cases, you can review your policy online, which outlines the fees covered by your current policy. All of our skin therapists are members of the Dutch Association of Skin Therapists and are registered in the Quality Register Paramedics.
Precaution
Prior to a laser treatment, the skin therapist will prescribe a number of products available at the clinic to prepare the skin for the laser treatment. This may include a preparatory peeling. This preperatoir process ensures that the skin can be treated higher during the treatment and makes the laser penetrate deeper into the skin making this treatment more effective.
During treatment
On the treatment area, the pulses destroy the acne bacteria. You will feel small pinpricks during the treatment, these will disappear immediately after the pulse.
Aftercare
After the treatment a slight swelling can occur and the skin can be red and sensitive. This will disappear after a few hours to a day. Make sure you treat the skin carefully in the first days after the treatment, never scratch the crusts.

How does an acne scar form?
If you've had a severe inflammation, it can damage the skin and potentially leave an acne scar. The likelihood of developing a scar depends on the severity of the inflammation, the location (a scar on a mobile area can stretch and become more noticeable), and genetics. It may be genetically determined how susceptible your skin is to scarring.
