The
Pulsed Light Alternative
Acne is the most common skin problem
in the United States, affecting not only teenagers,
but up to 80 percent of people in their 20s and
30s*. This stubborn condition is typically treated
with oral and topical medications, which can produce
good results but often with undesirable side
effects.
We offer an effective alternative
acne treatment. Our systems deliver highly
concentrated light pulses which attack acne on two
fronts:
Destroys acne bacteria for a quick clearance
of current acne breakouts.
Penetrates into the hyperactive
sebaceous glands to slow down the production of
sebum, which can clog pores and cause future
acne breakouts.
The result is fast resolution of
current breakouts and a long remission time between
treatments, without any drug-related side effects.

Q: How does
the pulsed light work? How is pulsed light different
from a laser?
A: We use specialized handpieces
which filter light from different parts of the
spectrum. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength
that is ideal for different treatments, such as hair
reduction, sunspot removal, or leg vein clearance.
The handpiece filters light into a band of the
spectrum to affect acne. It concentrates the light
into individual pulses targeting acne-causing
bacteria. Pulsed light systems and lasers are very
similar, but our pulsed light systems use a much
larger treatment window than most lasers. This
spreads light over a wide area of skin and allows
faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments
as a result.

Q: What are
the treatments like? What should I expect after
treatment?
A: Your treatment provider will move
the handpiece over the skin, pulsing it all the
while. Each pulse will sends beams of light through
the skin. A flashing light, an audible tone and a
mild sensation will tell you when the handpiece is
being pulsed. This sensation produces little to no
discomfort. You can expect a mild sunburn-like
sensation, possibly accompanied by minor swelling.
This usually lasts 2-24 hours and can be soothed.
There may be an initial flare-up of acne, similar to
the kind seen after a peel or the beginning of a new
topical or oral acne medication. Some of the
blemishes may appear redder. They will then fade
after 2-3 weeks. A reduction in the number of
lesions and the prevention of new lesions formation
can be expected following your treatment course.
