Which of the following is not a contraindication for IPL treatment?

Light skin is not a contraindication for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment because IPL devices are typically designed to target specific chromophores in the skin, such as melanin and hemoglobin. Patients with lighter skin often have a better outcome with IPL treatments, as the contrast between the skin tone and the targeted pigment allows for more effective treatment without excessive risk of adverse effects like hyperpigmentation.

In contrast, darker skin types may have a higher risk of complications such as burns or pigmentation changes due to the increased melanin content. Pregnancy is generally advised against for various aesthetic treatments, including IPL, primarily due to hormonal changes and potential risks to both the mother and the fetus. Active acne is also considered a contraindication, as IPL can potentially exacerbate inflammation or trigger further breakouts in individuals with existing acne conditions.

Thus, light skin not only is suitable for IPL treatment but is often preferred, making it the correct choice as not being a contraindication.
