THE TREATMENT

What to expect: treatment process and results.

The best candidates for ClearLight™ Acne PhotoClearing™ are people suffering from grade 1 to grade 4 (moderate inflammatory acne). It is important that you realize that 100% clearance is the absence of inflammatory lesions, not baby-smooth, perfectly clear skin.

A typical treatment: the procedure is non-invasive and pain free, with full-face treatments taking only 20 minutes. Patients simply lie on a comfortable bed while the light is applied to the affected area. Once the treatment session is over, patients can return to their daily routine. This means no downtime or inconvenience, especially important factors for active teens and young adults. The treatment regimen is short: 10 treatments over a 5 weeks period will achieve impressive results in most cases.

The effectiveness of the treatment depends on a commitment to 10 treatments within a 5-weeks period. Some patients may experience a flare-up between the 2nd and 5th treatment. A follow-up session or series of session may be needed 4 to 8 months post treatment.

There will be a redness associated with the treatment that dissipates over 1 to 3 months. A mild topical solution for maintenance post treatment is also needed for optimum results.
