Acne Treatments
Acne, pimples, zits, no matter what you call it, acne is a serious, often heartbreaking condition,, nearly 80% of people will suffer from acne at some point in their lives. For some, it is simply annoying. For others, acne is a problem with an often negative impact. Now, light-based phototherapy treatments for acne offer hope to millions of sufferers unwilling or unable to take systemic medications.
How It Works:
It is common knowledge that heat and light kill bacteria. Using this technology, we utilize the heat and light to safely kill the bacteria under the skin. This provides the patient with a SAFE, drug free alternative to medications such as Acutane.
By following the 8 week, twice weekly treatment protocol, most patients notice a 90% reduction in acne. This treatment is very popular among teenagers and adults alike.
For those who like to know the more technical details of how this treatment works, we have provided the following information:
The SkinStation delivers a deeply penetrating green-yellow wavelength light to activate a photo thermal reaction in the porphyrin molecules, causing the release of free oxygen to destroy P. Acnes bacteria. Heat simultaneously delivered to the skin accelerates the photo thermal reaction and bacteria destruction. The additional red wavelength light activates the porphyrin to reduce the inflammation common to acne lesions. A comprehensive program of treatments over a period of time has been proven to provide acne multiple clearance on average of up to 90%. Treatment sessions are simple, virtually painless, and last only approximately 15 minutes. This is an important consideration when treating teenagers or easily agitated patients.
