Acne Treatments: Light & Laser Treatments

The clearCONCEPT treatment process includes the latest technologies in laser and light therapies shown to effectively treat acne by reducing oil production and killing bacteria without the use of drugs.

 

Aramis™ Laser Treatment for Acne

To treat acne where it begins, the Aramis™ laser uses a patented wavelength to penetrate the skin’s layers to the sebaceous glands. The laser thermally alters the reactors in the sebaceous gland, reducing oil and bacteria production, decreasing the size of the gland and the incidence of acne.

A series of four to five procedures is administered, usually two weeks apart. Results are gradual with an approximate 20% reduction in the number of lesions after each treatment. The unique contact cooling of the Aramis laser makes the treatment virtually painless, with no need for anesthesia and no associated side effects, ensuring greater comfort and treatment compliance.

Omnilux™ Clear Light Acne Therapy

Omnilux’s blue light interacts with the bacteria in acne lesions. When the bacteria absorb the blue light, it causes a chemical reaction that produces a bactericide that actually kills the bacteria in the pores. The Omnilux’s red light can be used separately, or with the blue light, to lower the level of inflammation, irritation and redness in the skin.

A series of four twice-weekly treatments (eight total) are recommended. The blue and red light treatments involve little or no pain with no known side effects. In fact, most people fall asleep during the 20-minute procedure. Although not all pimples will clear completely, you will notice a significant reduction in the number of inflamed pimples, some upon completion of the first two treatments.
