Godiva brings the solution to acne with breakthrough IPL Treatment

For quite a number of individuals, acne can be a torment. It afflicted us as teenagers, plagues our own kids now and can even linger until adulthood. Pills, creams and other medications are continuously being developed and which promise clearer, acne-free skin. But most of these fall short on their promises and acne sufferers are left with even more skin problems to deal with, most often the adverse side effects left by these “cures”.

But how exactly is acne formed? Acne starts when a build up of oil occurs in our hair follicles which create a plug that traps oil and dead cells under the surface of our skin. This clogged follicle becomes a fertile breeding ground for P.acnes bacteria – the main cause of acne. When the wall of the plugged follicle breaks down, it spills everything into the nearby skin – sebum, shed skin cells and bacteria – leading to lesions or pimples.

P.acnes bacteria thrive when there is lack of oxygen. New research shows that by targeting the pore with light, it creates an oxygen-rich environment that destroys P.acnes bacteria. This understanding led to the development of a breakthrough acne clearance treatment.

Seeing the light with LHE

Thanks to modern technology, your dream of blemish-free skin is easily within reach. Skin care maintenance can now be seen in a whole new light with the breakthrough technology of the Intense Pulsed Light or IPL. It’s a new safe and effective skin care treatment that uses energy much more efficiently compared to any of the laser or light-based machines currently available in other facial centers.

Now, you can now enjoy clearer, acne-free skin through IPL treatments at more affordable prices at the Godiva Skin Station branches in Makati City and Fairview.

Godiva IPL Treatments utilize the advanced version of Light and Heat Energy or LHE technology to treat a wide range of skin conditions and skin types. LHE is a breakthrough treatment that far surpasses the results of traditional methods. It is safe and has no harmful side effects

Clear away troublesome acne

Godiva IPL Acne Clearance brings new hope to acne sufferers as it targets bacteria that causes pimples and stops it dead in its tracks. A series of concentrated pulses of Light-Heat Energy (LHE) is used to penetrate deep into the skin which aid in destroying P.acnes bacteria which are responsible in the formation of pimples.

These wavelengths also produce anti-inflammatory effects so that skin redness is reduced. In addition, it opens skin pores and enables a faster chemical reaction in the elimination of acne.

Using LHE technology, Godiva IPL Acne Clearance effectively eliminates acne lesions quickly and more efficiently, especially if combined with the Godiva Anti-Blemish regimen. Plus, there are absolutely no adverse side effects and has zero downtime. All you get is clearer, smoother skin with visible results shortly after every treatment.

A typical IPL Acne Clearance treatment consists of 8 sessions over a 4-week period. Results can be seen within 3 to 4 weeks.

Call telephone numbers 939-1105, 890-9845 and 751-6140 or e-mail skinstation@i-godiva.com for more information on Godiva IPL Acne Clearance or to schedule an appointment.
