In this study, the primary and secondary outcomes were the mean percentage reduction of inflammatory acne lesion improvement (MPRI) and the mean percentage reduction of noninflammatory acne lesion improvement (NMPRI), respectively.

With regard to MPRI, the result of IPL group was poorer than that of control group [mean deviation (MD)\u00a0=\u00a0\u22124.37 (95% confidence interval CI: \u22127.83, \u22120.91),<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.01]. In addition, the efficiency of IPL was poor among African and Asian populations [MD\u00a0=\u00a0\u22123.87 (95% CI: \u22127.36, \u22120.37),<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.03; MD\u00a0=\u00a0\u221228.37 (95% CI: \u221252.26, \u22124.18),<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.02].

Besides, the efficiency of IPL was lower than that of PDL [MD\u00a0=\u00a0\u221228.37 (95% CI: \u221252.26, \u22124.18),<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.02]. There was no statistically significant difference in the efficiency between IPL and other treatments for NMPRI.

For inflammatory acne lesions, the efficiency of IPL is poorer than that of PDT. Difference in geographic regions may affect the IPL efficiency. However, the results obtained in this study should be cautiously interpreted due to the heterogeneities and the lack of studies with a large sample
