How does ClearLight^TM destroy acne?

ClearLight^TM is a new therapeutic light that uses the innovative Acne PhotoClearing^TM - APC^TM technology to precisely target and destroy surface and ductal propionibacterium acnes (p.acnes) quickly and easily. Its intense 420nm wavelength light penetrates deeply enough into the tissue to reach the target p.acnes and trigger the proliferation of endogenic porphyrins to attack and eliminate the p.acnes bacteria.

What kind of results can acne patients expect?

ClearLight^TM effectively clears most inflammatory acne in just one month. There are virtually no side effects or photosensitivity, no downtime and no exposure to antibiotics using APC^TM technology.

Are their any known side effects?

ClearLight^TM is a gentle treatment, no known side effects have been observed. Patients are free to continue their normal activities on completion of each treatment session.

How does the ClearLight^TM System Work ?

The ClearLight ^TM System uses the unique light-based Acne PhotoClearing (APC^TM) technology to provide the fastest acne therapy available. APC technology employs an enhanced narrow-band 420nm blue wavelength that converts the porphyrines (P,acne) produced by acne bacteria into a compound that actually destroys the bacteria. This narrow-band spectrum is high-intensity, yet UV-free and in results in over 60% decrease in inflammatory acne lesions in one month or less.

Why Enhanced 420nm Blue Light ?

Basic scientific research has proven that porphyrines are ten times more photosensitive to enhanced 420 nm blue light than to other light wavelengths capable of exciting porphrines. The P. acne reside in the most superficial areas of the sebaceous gland duct. Enhanced 420 nm light penetrates just deep enough into the tissue to reach the P.acne target, safety and effectively.

Is there an Intensity Threshold for Successful Clearing of Acne ?

To achieve successful theraputic results for acne problems, the acne bacteria destruction rate must exceed the normal proliferation rate. For light-based therapy, the intensity that enables destroying P. acne, faster than new colony growth is called the intensity threshold.

The ClearLight system’s high-intensity enhanced narrow band spectrum has been fine-tuned to surpass the threshold of photodestruction, assuming a rapid decrease in P.acne that is unmatched by other treatments.

What is the Unique advantage of ClearLight ?

ClearLight is the first system to reach the threshold intensity required for efficient photocleaning of acne. The result of the systems unique technology – the enhanced narrow-band 420 nm blue wavelength that is high-intensity, yet UV-free.

How does ClearLight Compare to Topical Creams and Oral Antibiotics ?

Most other treatment modalities for acne sufferers (such as topical creams and oral antibiotics) have limitations and require at least 3 months of continous treatment ; other drugs have additional aggressive side-effects. ClearLight PhotoClearing acne therapy is faster – with full-face treatments lasting only 10 minutes. ClearLight is also more effective, significantly decreasing inflammatory acne lesions by over 60% in 4 weeks, compared to results achieved in 12 weeks continous treatment with oral anti-acne. ClearLight’s PhotoCleaning treatment has not shown any adverse effects. ClearLight is suitable for all body areas, including large areas and the sensitive beard area, often aggravated by shaving.

What is the Acne Treatment Centre Concept ?

The Acne Treatment Centre was developed by doctors and engineers to combine acne treatment and patient monitoring in a single easy-to-use system, ClearLight . The ClearLight touch screen is simple to learn and use . its computerised system enables digital photography of acne patients, touch-screen lesion counting and graphing for tracking patient’s progress. This assures enhanced results and patient satisfaction
