An Effective alternative to daily pills and lotions. Acne is a common condition characterized by obstructed sebaceous glands,
pimples and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Acne begins in adolescence and usually affects most teenagers at
some time. However, adults too can suffer with acne. When severe, acne can often result in scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring, if not properly treated.
Until recently, patients with persistent, moderate acne have been treated with only topical or sometimes systemic antibiotics. Recent studies have demonstrated, however, that
certain discrete spectra can trigger endogenic porphyrins that naturally destroy P. acnes bacteria — and in just a fraction of the time it typically takes for antibiotics to work.
Within eight brief acne laser treatments, over just four weeks, Harmony®XL's AFT can provide significant improvement. This is three times faster than common antibiotics and
topical lotions. Patients should achieve 80% clearance and treatments for acne take only 20 minutes.
The treatment has an anti-bacterial effect on the skin, and works by inhibiting the growth of this bacterial protein. By inhibiting the reproduction of this bacteria, you can achieve a reduction of 50-90% without
the side effects of antibiotics and common prescription drugs such as accutane.
A course of treatment is necessary, typically 8 sessions over the course of one month, although it may be necessary to attend more treatments for
problem acne. |
