IPL acne treatment uses lights of three colors to treat acne and acne scars. Lights of yellow, green and red colors are emitted on the affected area. This helps to kill bacteria and other infections present in the skin. This helps to open up the pores of skin and cure acne and other skin problems. The treatment takes about half an hour to carry out the whole procedure.

Everyone is suggested to use this treatment other than the pregnant women, diabetic patients or people using other acne treatments. Though there are no side effects reported till date, precaution is better than cure. Therefore, using IPL acne treatment during pregnancy is not recommended. This is because there could be any side effects of the laser lights though they claim to not emit any radiation. And a pregnant women can't take risk because there is a life flourishing within her. The lights could effect the baby and could lead to complications at the time of delivery or before that.

There is evidence of no such case, but still IPL acne treatment during pregnancy is not advised. Any pregnant woman's first concern should be baby rather than the skin.
