Laser & IPL Acne Treatment in Orlando
Acne can affect your confidence at any age, and over-the-counter products often stop working. At LightTouch Med Spa in Orlando, our Nurse Practitioners combine IPL light therapy, PIXEL® laser resurfacing, and medical-grade peels to calm active breakouts, reduce redness, and smooth the scars acne leaves behind.
Every acne plan starts with a free skin consultation. Depending on your skin, we may recommend IPL for inflamed breakouts and redness, a VI Peel® Purify to unclog pores, microneedling or laser scar treatments for acne scarring, and a deep-cleansing HydraFacial® for maintenance.

What Causes Acne?
Acne starts when excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria clog the pores. Hormones, stress, genetics, and Florida heat and humidity can all make breakouts worse. When inflammation runs deep, it can damage the skin and leave dark marks or indented scars.
How Do Laser & IPL Treatments Help?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) targets acne-causing bacteria and the redness of inflamed blemishes, while helping regulate oil. PIXEL® fractional laser resurfacing creates tiny microscopic treatment zones that trigger new collagen, smoothing acne scars and uneven texture over a series of sessions.
Benefits of Our Acne Treatments

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Teens and adults with mild to moderate acne, recurring breakouts, post-acne marks, or acne scarring are often great candidates. IPL is best suited to lighter and medium skin tones; for darker skin tones we often recommend the VI Peel® or SkinPen® microneedling instead. Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy, with a recent sunburn, or while taking isotretinoin.
Sweating can also aggravate breakouts. Learn how we treat excessive sweating with hyperhidrosis treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acne Treatments
Are PIXEL® and IPL treatments safe?
Yes. Both are FDA-cleared technologies that have been used for many years. Our trained Nurse Practitioners will confirm they are right for your skin type before treatment.
How do I know which acne treatment is right for me?
During a free consultation, our provider will analyze your skin and recommend IPL, laser resurfacing, a VI Peel, microneedling, or a combination based on your acne and skin tone.
Are these treatments painful?
IPL feels like a quick warm snap, similar to a rubber band. PIXEL® can feel warmer, so we apply numbing cream first. Most patients find both very tolerable.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients need a series of three to six sessions about four weeks apart. Acne scars usually need more sessions than active acne.
When will I see results?
Many patients see calmer skin and less redness after the first session, with continued improvement over the full series.
Can I have my treatment the same day as my consultation?
Yes, in most cases. Please allow enough time in your appointment for both the consultation and the treatment.
Can laser treatments remove acne scars?
Laser resurfacing can significantly soften the look of acne scars, but results vary. See our laser scar treatments page for more details.
Who should not have IPL or laser acne treatment?
Avoid treatment if you are pregnant, have a recent sunburn, are taking isotretinoin, have active cold sores, open lesions, or a history of keloid scarring. Always share your full health history with your provider.
