LED Light Therapy

Acne Treatments

Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people at some point in their lives.  This can range from pimples to painful cysts which can causing scarring.  Acne can start in teenage years but can also start at any age.  It is commonly linked to hormones.  The hormones cause the grease glands to produce large amounts of oil resulting in blocked follicles and p.acnes bacteria. There is no quick fix. We use several approaches:

  • Clinical proven LED light therapy this destroys the p.acne bacteria and reduces inflammation. An improvement can normally be seen in weeks.  Treatments with medically CE certified Celluma or Dermalux.
