Acne-causing bacteria can only live where there is no oxygen. Doctors now know that exposing the clogged pores to special wavelengths of light causes a photothermal reaction that releases oxygen, killing the bacteria. In as few as four weeks of having acne treatments, patients have experienced up to 90% clearance of their acne. Patients have found acne treatments to be safe and simple, causing no harmful side effects.

How Acne Treatments Work

A green-yellow light penetrates deep into the clogged pore triggering a photothermal reaction that causes oxygen to be released, killing the acne bacteria. Red light also penetrates inside the pore to reduce inflammation. Deep soothing heat helps open up the clogged pore and speeds up the photothermal process that kills the bacteria.

What To Expect

It typically takes 8 treatments over a four week period to achieve maximum results. A treatment session lasts about 15 minutes depending on your acne condition. The doctor will provide details about your treatment and prepare a plan with our skin care specialists that's right for you.
