Studies indicate
that most people experience acne in some form at some time in their
life. Acne usually begins during adolescence but often continues
into adulthood. Hormonal changes cause the enlargement and blocking
of oil-producing sebaceous glands near the hair follicle within the
skin.
Acne usually begins
with an abnormal amount of bacteria, mainly propionibacterium acnes
(P. acnes). This typically causes painful pimples - known as
inflamed pustules of acne or inflammatory acne - that can appear on
the face, chest, back, limbs and virtually any other part of the
body. Acne can produce life-long scars, both physically and
emotionally.
The
ClearLight Acne PhotoClearing™ blue light system destroys the most
common bacteria that cause acne — without drugs, without pain and
without
downtime. The ClearLight system is the
first medical device to receive FDA clearance to market for the
treatment of acne.

How effective is
ClearLight?
ClearLight
can effectively clear most mild to moderate inflammatory acne in four weeks.
Is it safe? Are
there any side effects?
ClearLight is one
of the safest acne treatments available. Its APC technology uses
light that is UV safe. With ClearLight there are no known side
effects. Traditional acne treatments can have a variety of side
effects. Topical therapies like creams and lotions often cause
redness, irritation, and/or peeling. Oral therapies, like
antibiotics, may have other side effects. Both may require at least
3 months of continuous treatment; conditions often become worse
before they improve, and scarring remains an issue.
How many treatments
are required?
A series of
ClearLight treatment sessions is required, typically twice a week
for 4 weeks. It is important to keep the treatment appointments. By
following the treatment plan, you'll see maximum results and enjoy
clearer skin with ClearLight.
