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, four novel devices called the Blu-U, Omnilux, Revitalight & the ClearLight Acne PhotoClearingsTM
(APCTM) technology gives physicians new tools 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). The Blu-U and Omnilux use a high intensity 417nm band of blue light. Revitalight uses 417nm band of blue light and 610nm red light.
1064nm Nd:YAG Laser treatments also focus on the bacterium that cause acne. The 1064nm Nd:YAG Laser is one of the safest lasers available capable of treating even the darkest of skin. The system’s 1064nm light penetrates just deep enough into the tissue to reach the acne target, without adversely affecting surrounding skin. The Lyra also stimulates collagen rejuvenation which inturn DECREASES PORE SIZE! The 1064nm Lyra has no known side effects.

Before
- APC technology uses high-intensity, 405-420nm wavelength light, which permeates the
tissue to reach the P. acnes target safely and effectively. |
|
|
|
 |
|
During
- This unique spectrum of high-intensity light triggers the proliferation of endogenic
porphyrins, which attack and destroy P. acnes bacteria within the skin. |
|
|
|
 |
|
After -
Blu-U, Omnilux, Revitalight & ClearLight systems create a destruction rate that surpasses the normal proliferation rate of the
P. acnes bacteria, assuring a significant decrease in P. acnes bacteria. |
