Acne is a disorder of the skin's sebaceous glands
that results in plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions. One of the
most common skin diseases, nearly 80% of people will suffer from
acne at some point in their lives. For some, it is simply annoying.
For others, acne is a problem with an often negative impact. Now,
light-based phototherapy treatments for acne offer hope to millions
of sufferers unwilling or unable to take systemic medications.
Though commonly
considered as a teenager problem, 20% of all adults suffer from
varying degrees of active acne. Aggravation of acne may occur with
menstrual periods, birth control pills, use of oil-based products
and stress. "There is no single disease which causes more psychic
trauma, more general insecurity and feelings of inferiority than
does acne."
Acne occurs when the oil produced by the sebaceous glands does not
reach the surface of the skin and is trapped in the clogged pores.
Bacteria thrive in these clogged pores and pus leaks into the
surrounding tissues causing pimples to form.
Each year, approximately 5 billion dollars is spent on acne
treatment, most of it on medication. Many of these medications,
ranging from over-the-counter to prescription, are expensive and may
cause unwanted side effects. They generally require months of continuous treatment, and
many patients see only limited improvement or no improvement at all.
When treating acne, time is of the essence. LHE works fast, offering
a complete treatment in 30 days compared with the 6–18 months
usually required for systemic treatment. LHE’s addition of heat
intensifies the chemical process and speeds overall treatment time.
You often look and feel better within 2 weeks of starting treatment.
Now fighting inflammatory acne is no longer a losing battle.
SpectraClear, a new generation of acne treatment systems using the
unique LHE (Light and Heat Energy) technology, destroys the acne
bacteria, reduces inflammation, and opens the clogged pores. A
series of eight treatments over a four week period is all it takes
to get back on the road to dramatically clearer, smoother, acne-free
skin.
How LHE Acne Phototherapy
Works
Blocked pores create a closed anaerobic environment that leads to rapid
buildup of a P. acnes colony under the skin.
LHE clears acne safely and effectively with a series of concentrated
pulses of light and heat. The green wavelength light penetrates deep
into the skin to cause an increase in porphyrins, resulting in the
destruction of P. acnes.
The red wavelength produces anti-inflammatory results. The addition of
heat, unique to LHE, increases the effectiveness by opening the skin
pores and promoting a faster chemical reaction.
