ACNE TREATMENTS

Clear your acne blemishes with easy pulsed light treatments.
 

What causes Acne?

Acne occurs when the skin’s sebaceous glands become overactive, creating cellular debris that plugs
the glands. Bacteria accumulates in the blocked gland and leads to the formation of pimples, cysts and
inflammation.
Acne generally begins in puberty but can last well into adulthood.

PULSED LIGHT: HOW DOES IT WORK?

Pulses of concentrated light are directed onto the skin and absorbed by the bacteria and sebaceous glands. Pulsed light systems are similar to lasers, but with a larger,
more diffuse beam for safe and comfortable treatments.

 

PULSED LIGHT ACNE TREATMENTS

The Palomar Pulsed Light System attacks acne on two fronts:

• It kills the acne-causing bacteria trapped in the sebaceous glands.
• It heats the sebaceous glands to decrease bacteria production, which would lead to future acne.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Happens After Acne Treatment?
Your skin may be slightly red after treatment. The acne blemishes shrink and become less noticeable, and then fade after approximately one week.

Will the Treatments Hurt?
Palomar Pulsed Light Systems use a unique long pulsewidth that delivers energy to the skin over a relatively long period of time. This makes the pulses safer and more comfortable. You may experience a feeling similar to that of a rubber band being snapped on the skin, but most people do not report this sensation as painful.

Are There Any Adverse Reactions to Treatment?
You may experience temporary redness and a mild “sunburn”- like effect that may last a few hours to a few days.
