ClearLight Acne System

A few facts about acne…

Studies indicate that most people experience acne in some form at some time in their life. Acne usually begins during adolescence but often continues into adulthood. Hormonal changes cause the enlargement and blocking of oil-producing sebaceous glands near the hair follicle within the skin.

Acne usually begins with an abnormal amount of bacteria, mainly propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). This typically causes painful pimple – known as inflamed pustules of acne or inflammatory acne – that can appear on the face, chest, back, limbs and virtually any other part of the body. Acne can produce life-long scars, both physically and emotionally.

Oral therapies, like antibiotics, may have other side effects. Both may require at least 3 months of continuous treatment; conditions often become worse before they improve, and scarring remains an issue.

Who can be treated by ClearLight?

Almost anyone. ClearLight has proven to be very effective on moderate inflammatory acne. Pregnant women and people with photosensitivity should consult with their physician. Since most people can benefit from treatment, talk to your doctor about ClearLight.

How ClearLight works…

ClearLight’s unique APC technology destroys P. acne bacteria safely and effectively within the skin.

Before Treatment: A pimple forms around the hair follicle opening, causing inflammatory acne with an abnormal amount of bacteria called P. acnes.

During Treatment: ClearLight’s APC technology uses intense, 405-420nm, wavelength light, which permeates the tissue to reach the P. acnes target safely and effectively.

After Treatment: The P. acnes bacteria have been eliminated.

What happens during ClearLight treatment? Does it hurt?

With ClearLight, a typical treatment session takes only 15 minutes. You lie comfortable while the therapeutic light is applies; sometimes there is a slight warm sensation. ClearLight treatments are described as easy, even relaxing, but most importantly – painless and safe. Patients often listen to music while being treated.

How many treatments are required?

Your practitioner can tell you about the treatment plan that is right for you. It will involve a series of ClearLight treatment sessions, typically twice a week for 4 weeks. It is important to keep the treatment appointments recommended by your practitioner. By following the treatment plan, you’ll see maximum results and enjoy clearer skin with ClearLight.
