An effective alternative to daily pills and creams!

Acne is a common condition characterised by obstructed sebaceous glands, so pimples and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules 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.

If untreated severe acne can often result in scarring.

The Technology

Clear inflammatory acne lesions without drugs or undesirable side effects using the XL AFT laser handpiece. Intense blue wavelengths in the range of 420-950 nm target the porphyrins produced as part of the normal metabolism of P. acnes bacteria.

The interaction of the intense blue light and the porphyrins creates singlet oxygen that rapidly destroys the bacteria without damaging the surrounding tissue.
