ACNE and SCARRING
Acne is a disorder of the skin's sebaceous glands that results in blocked pores and outbreaks of lesions. It is a common skin disorder that affects most people during their teenage years although a small percentage of adults also suffer from varying degrees of active acne.
Some women tend to break out in a pattern that follow their menstrual cycle.
Your Acne Clearance Program may be a combination of:
- Medical treatments : antibiotics, hormonal correction, anti-acne medication.
- Microdermabrasion.
- Phototherapy.
- Peels.
- Medicated skin care products.
- Correct make up.
- Laser or IPL treatments.
Our treatments are designed for each individual patient and address all the complex factors involved in the pathology of acne. The treatments are carried out in accordance with a strict protocol starting with a comprehensive medical assessment including blood testing, after which the program is designed.
The program lasts a few weeks during which the patient is closely monitored, the progress is assessed and adjusted accordingly. The results are spectacular.
The unique Phototherapy system can effectively clear inflammatory acne lesions in just 1/3 of the time it takes for standard topical and oral treatments to do the same. Each treatment takes just 15 minutes.
A series of 8 treatments over a 4-week period is all it takes to get back on the road to dramatically clearer, smoother acne-free skin. There are no adverse side effects, discomfort, downtime or exposure to antibiotics.
The light and heat energy is absorbed by porphyrin - a natural substance produced by acne bacteria. Oxygen is released as a result, which in turn destroys the acne causing bacteria. This self-healing process causes no irritation to the skin and reduces the pain that can be suffered as a result of this distressing condition. Clearance reaches up to 80% on average.
