[Acne] IPL at home for acne?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've suffered from hormonal cystic acne for my entire life, and as my doctors aren't willing to prescribe hormonal medicication for it, I'm left to deal with softening the consequences as well as I can. This means that once in every while I'll get a few gigantic red cysts that hurts and will stay for 1-1,5 month before retracting, always leaving behind a nice dark scar. Lots of fun!However, a few years ago I used to go see this beautician who used some sort of light or laser machine to ease the inflammation and bacteria, and as a result, the acne always retracted the day after, no matter how bad it was. Sadly, I never got a name of the thing she used other than that it was "laser". She would press one of two "pens" into the inflamed acne and hold it there for some seconds, before the machine beeped and when she'd go on to the next cyst. I assume she never told me the name of the thing since laser and IPL treatment in the face area is banned for salons without a certain certification/education, but hell, it was the only thing that helped get rid of my cysts once they had emerged.So my questions here are... With this, er, amazing description of the laser/light/whatever thing, do you think IPL is what she worked with? Or some form of laser? Would there be any chance that these at-home IPL machines could do the trick? Or any other form of home-treatments? Would it even be worth buying one of these cheap ass probably worthless blue/red light pens on Ebay that claims to take care of inflammations?I've been in contact with every single beautician near me, and none of them offer any treatments to make acne retract, so I won't get any help there.Any ideas would be much appreciated. I have these awful cysts in my face right now that I just want to get rid of before they leave scarring.
