Treating acne without side effects
Chemical Peeling & Phototherapy
The concept of chemical peeling combined with phototherapy is an effective and unique the treatment for acne without any serious side effects. The treatment is effective, providing results after only a few treatments.
The chemical peeling deeply cleanses och removes a thin layer of the outer skin layer, the epidermis. The acid used is a natural acid produced especially for the purpose.
The phototherapy used for treating acne is based on recognised research results 1),2),3),4),5),6).
The treatment is kind to the skin.
The blue light causes acne bacteria (the cuproporphyrin in the bacteria) to absorb enough energy to kill the bacteria. The red and infrared light reduces inflammation and stimulates blood circulation and cell growth in the skin’s cells.
The concept has been developed in consultation with cosmeticians in Finland and Sweden and tested with good results for over two years.
Number of treatments
For the Combination treatment, three to four treatments to reduce acne.
1 x lactic acid and 3-4 x phototherapy. In severe cases, a further 1 x lactic acid and phototherapy is required.
Treatment with just Phototherapy requires more treatments for good results. Normally 6-8 treatments.
The cost
The total cost of each treatment is usually the same.
Treatment results
Typical treatment results in a reduction in acne from 60% to 100%. The results can be seen after just a couple of weeks but the final results are apparent after approx. 3 months when more skin cells have started to rejuvenate. Generally, the acne does not return provided the skin is cared for and the patient is healthy.
Side effects
After the chemical peeling the skin may appear red and irritated for a couple of days. A week after the treatment you should avoid exposing your skin to extreme cold, heat or sun.
Phototherapy can in rare cases cause erythema after treatment.
