At the no. 8 clinic we employ lasers, photoclensing, chemical peels and cosmeceuticals to eliminate unwanted acne.
Intense pulsed light systems release yellow/green light that destroys the bacteria that live in the skin and cause acne, while the red light emitted directly targets the overactive sebaceous glands that cause outbreaks. This targeted heating deep in the skin causes shrinkage of the inflamed sebaceous glands and helps to prevent further outbreaks.
Typically, Intense Pulsed Light treatments are combined with glycolic acid facial peel treatments for maximum results.
The PPx Pore-Cleansing Acne Treatment is a painless acne treatment that uses a unique combination of pneumatic energy and broadband light to treat mild to moderate acne, pustular acne, comedonal acne and Acne Vulgaris. Clinical studies demonstrate an 88% reduction in acne after 4 treatments. Vacuum activation helps to elevate the sebaceous glands, bringing it closer to the skins surface. Gentle pressure on the gland ejects the contents of the gland and the broadband light produced destroys the bacteria responsible for the infection. Patients who have undergone PPx pore-cleansing reported a number of ancillary benefits, such as reduction in pore size and improvement in skin texture as well as an improvement in skin tone.
