The Intense Pulsed Light system releases yellow, green and red light that is emitted in a series of short pulses. The yellow and green light destroys the bacteria that live in the skin and cause acne, while the red light directly targets the overactive sebaceous glands that cause outbreaks of pustules. This is targeted eating deep in the skin causes shrinkage of the inflamed sebaceous glands and helps to prevent over-production of excess sebum.

The body's natural healing process is sped up to help the acne heal quickly and at the same time rejuvenates the skin and helps reduce the scars most acne spots leave behind. Acne can be controlled effectively with the E-light with regular use but a diet will help in the long run to control it until the body's hormones stabilize.
