Acne treatments are for all but the more severe forms of acne
“The treatment of acne using pulsed light is constantly gaining popularity among patients seeking a drug-free alternative to treat this chronic, common skin disease. Acne affects up to 80% of individuals at some time in their life. SharpLight™ systems provide very satisfactory results in the treatment of mild and moderate inflammatory acne, by reducing the number of papules and pustules by 60-65%. This is achieved using three effective, safe and reliable clinical mechanisms: visible blue light absorption to destroy the bacteria, yellow light to coagulate the feeding blood vessels and infrared light to dry the lesions.”

Before & After Gallery
Post Care
- Immediate cooling
- Sun Protection (30 SPF at least)
- Avoidance of exposure to sun, artificial tanning, and dirt/debris
- Cleaning and moistening during the following days
- Any irritation/redness will resolve within 24 hours
Remember: Tanning after treatment sessions may enhance melanin regeneration, which may result in hyper-pigmentation.
*Important*
Accutane is an absolute contraindication to laser treatments and must be stopped a year prior to having any laser treatments done.
