Clear Light Acne Reduction
What is ClearLight Acne Treatment?
ClearLight Acne Treatment is a blue light system that uses a unique, high-intensity blue-violet light to activate bacteria-fighting porphyrins. The porphyrins start a chemical reaction that produces peroxide and destroys the acne bacteria.
How does the treatment work?
The client puts on protective eyewear, lies down and relaxes under the therapeutic light. The blue light activates photosensitizers within the acne bacteria. This creates a toxic bactericidal environment in the sebaceous gland which inhibits the formation of the acne lesions.
What are the features of ClearLight Acne Treatment?
ClearLight Acne Treatment is a new standard for acne treatment. With its large lamps and intense light, ClearLight Acne Treatment can treat large areas of the body evenly and all at once.
