What is it?

Acne is one of the most common and stubborn skin problems. Regardless of skin type or lifestyle, approximately 80% of the population will suffer from acne at some point in their lives. Yet many patients fail to respond adequately to current treatment options and others develop problematic side effects. Further, the cost and duration of acne treatment with topical medications and oral antibiotics make standard therapy far from ideal.

Now, a novel device called the ClearLight Acne PhotoClearing^TM (APC) technology gives physicians a new tool designed to clear moderate inflammatory acne without side effects, patient discomfort, photosensitivity or downtime. ClearLight uses a high-intensity, enhanced, narrow band light source (405-420 nm).

What are the Benefits?

The innovative ClearLight System is powered by light-based Acne PhotoClearing (APC) technology, which penetrates the skin and destroys surface and ductal p. acnes bacteria quickly and easily. Its destruction rate surpasses the normal proliferation rate, assuring a rapid decrease in p. acnes that is unmatched by other treatments. There is no irritation, side effects or photosensitivity.

New paradigm for acne treatment

• Short treatment regimen - 8 treatments over 4 weeks to achieve impressive results

• Systemic drug-free treatment

• Increased patient compliance and patient satisfaction

• No side effects. No pain. No downtime

• Suitable for all body areas, including sensitive beard area

How does it work?

The procedure is noninvasive and pain free, with full-face treatments taking only 15 minutes. Patients simply lie on a comfortable bed while the light is applied to the affected area; they can even listen to music while being treated. Once the treatment session is over, patients can return to their daily routine. This means no downtime or inconvenience, especially important factors for active teens and young adults.
