DPL for acne scars
Dynamic pulsed light to smooth scars and dark spots.
Your skin, with no memory of the past.
DPL (Dynamic Pulsed Light) is an evolution of classic IPL. It emits light pulses that target scars, dark spots and redness without affecting surrounding healthy skin.
Ideal for mild to moderate atrophic acne scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), enlarged pores, telangiectasias (small veins) and persistent redness.
After each session you'll notice progressive improvement in texture and tone. Full result is visible 2 to 4 months after finishing the course.

What people ask the most
How is it different from regular IPL?
DPL uses more selective filters and dynamic pulses. More precise, lower burn risk and better performance on medium-toned skin.
How many sessions do I need?
4 to 6 sessions for mild scarring. Deeper scars require combining with Morpheus 8 or Dermapen.
Does it work on every scar type?
Works very well on mild atrophic (sunken) scars and dark spots. Hypertrophic (raised) scars need other treatments.
Does it hurt?
Brief snap sensation, similar to a rubber band. We use cooling gel for comfort.
Is there downtime?
Almost none. Redness for 4-24 hours. Any micro-crusts are subtle and can be covered with mineral foundation after 24h.
Does it help rosacea?
Yes. DPL is one of the best treatments for diffuse redness and small vessels in mild to moderate rosacea.
Is it safe on dark skin?
Requires conservative parameters and more sessions, but it is safe. We do a patch test first on darker skin.
Can I combine it with a facial?
Yes. Ideally a facial 1 week before DPL to optimize results.
