Acne is the most common skin problem, affecting not only teenagers, but up to 80 percent of people in their 20s and 30s. This stubborn condition is typiclaly treated with oral and tropical medications, which can produce good results but often with undesirable side effects.
Palomar Pulsed Light Systems offer an effective alternative acne treatment. Palmar systems deliver concentrated light pulses which attack acne on two fronts:
Destroys acne bacteria for a quick clearance of current acne breakouts.
Penetrates into the hyperactive sebaceous glands to slow down the production of sebum, which can clog pores and cause future acne breakouts.
The result is fast resolution of current breakouts and a long renussuib time between treatments, without any drug-related side effects.
How does Palomar pulsed light work?
Palomar Systems use specialized handpieces which filter light from different parts of the spectrum. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different treatments, such as hair reduction, sun spot removal or leg vein clearance.
The LuxV handpiece filters light in the ideal band of the spectrum to affect acne. The LuxV concentrates the light into individual pulses which target acne-causing bacteria.
How is Palomar pulsed light different from a laser?
Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar, but Palomar pulsed Light Systems use a much larger treatment window than most lasers. This spreads light over a wider area of skin and quicker treatment.
What are Palomar treatments like?
Your treatment provider will move the LuxV handpiece over your skin, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will send a beam of light through your skin. A flashing light, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the handpiece is being pulsed. This sensation produces little to no discomfort.
What should I expect after treatment?
You can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This ussually lasts 2-24 hours, and can be soothed with gel or ice packs.
There may be an inital flare-up of acne, similar to the kind seen after a peel procedure or the to the kind seen after a peel procedure or the beginning of a new topical or oral acne medication.
Some of the blemishes may appear redder. They will then fade after 2-3 weeks.
A reduction in the number of lesions and the prevention of new lesion formation can be expected following your treatment course.
