ACNE Clearance

What is acne?

Acne begins when a build up of oil occurs in the hair follicle, creating a plug that traps oil and dead cells under the surface of the skin. The clogged follicle becomes a fertile breeding ground for p.acnes bacteria -the main cause of acne. The p.acnes bacteria thrive when there is a lack of oxygen. The anaerobic environment creates the perfect condition for the p.acnes bacteria to reproduce colonies and release porphyrin.

New research has shown that by targeting the pore with light, it creates an oxygen rich environment that destroys the p.acnes. Understanding these principals has led to the development of a breakthrough acne clearance treatment.

LHE™ Acne Clearance

Using a unique 3-prong approach of green light, red light and heat LHE™ optimizes the oxygen effect and quickly destroys p.acnes bacteria.

Green light penetrates deep beneath the skin surface and causes the porphyrin molecules to release oxygen, which attacks and destroys the p.acnes bacteria.

Red light quickly reduces the inflammation from the base of the hair follicle. The heat clears the pores, speedens up the chemical reaction and soothes the acne lesions.

LHE™ provides a highly effective tool for rapidly clearing acne with virtually no side effects, discomfort, photosensitivity or downtime.

LHE™ acne phototherapy works on mild to severe inflammatory acne and is ideal for treating the redness associated with mild to moderate acne and cystic acne. With LHE™ results are seen within three to four weeks. A typical treatment regimen consists of 8 treatments over a 4-week period.

Each treatment consists of 2 sessions with a 5 minute interval and takes about 30-45 minutes.

LHE™:

Safe and reliable - safe acne clearance with no pain or downtime.

Visible - results are visible shortly after starting the treatments, with clearance reaching up to 90% on average.

Quick treatment time - 30-45 minutes for a full facial treatment.
