ClearLight
Acne Treatment
Unfortunately,
acne is something most of us have experienced at one time or another.
As many as three out of four teenagers have experienced it to some extent.
It is most prevalent during adolescence because hormonal changes stimulate
the sebaceous glands (oil glands) into producing more sebum (oil), increasing
the chance of acne. While most people outgrow acne in their late teens
or early twenties, many continue to be affected much longer. Aggravation
of acne in later life may occur with menstrual periods, use of birth
control pills, use of oil-based products and stress.
What
is ClearLight Phototherapy?
ClearLight Phototherapy is a revolutionary new in-office treatment that
can clear moderate inflammatory acne without any side effects. ClearLight
directs intense blue light to the treatment area to eliminate the bacteria
that cause acne. The light causes the photodestruction of the bacteria
that causes acne without damaging any of the surrounding tissues. ClearLight
treatments work well on all skin colors and can treat any area of the
body.
