Acne

Just beneath the surface of the skin lie hundreds of tiny glands called sebaceous glands. Their function is to collect and excrete the oily substance called sebum, to keep the skin healthy. These tiny pores sometimes become clogged and bacteria grow inside leading to acne formation. Acne is most common in teenagers, but it can occur at all ages. The condition usually begins at puberty and may continue for many years. Three out of four teenagers have acne to some extent, probably caused by hormonal changes that stimulate the sebaceous (oil producing) skin glands.

At SKINMD we utilize the latest and most sought after solution for reducing the bacteria that causes acne. The blue LED therapy delivers high frequency blue light at 450nm. It destroys the bacteria known to cause acne and other related skin conditions by producing an extra molecule of oxygen, creating a medium in which acne bacteria is unable to survive. This treatment offers effective, non-invasive and pain free blue light treatment for moderate inflammatory acne, a condition affecting millions of adults and teens.

In addition to the blue LED light, the Sapphire 3 Photo Abrasion system also offers dry and wet microabrasion to exfoliate the skin, lymphatic drainage to detoxify and regenerate new tissue, and red LED light which promotes elasticity and firmness of the skin.

For best results, a customized treatment package will be created for you during your first visit at SKINMD
