The Clear Skin laser has two main actions in the treatment of active acne:
- will reduce Propionibacterium acnes flora by altering the bacterial cell membrane
- will reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands, which secrete sebum in smaller, more fluid quantities.
Clinically, these effects will translate into a reduction in hyperseborrhoea, closed and open comedones, pore size and inflammatory acne lesions.
At the same time, those micro-pulses of energy cause micro-injury to the collagen in the dermis, causing a healing reaction with collagen and elastin synthesis, correcting post acne scars, pigmented spots, erythematous spots, enlarged pores and generally creating smoother, more even, more aesthetic skin.
