A little bit about the acne problem

Acne is a serious problem that affects more than 70% of people, regardless of age. It is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that often occurs on the face, back, and other parts of the body. It is caused by disorders in the sebaceous glands. In addition, the skin, especially on the face, is more susceptible to external factors due to its increased sensitivity.

However, it is important to understand that even comprehensive cosmetic care is not always sufficient to solve this problem. Sometimes it is necessary to influence the pathological process inside the skin, directly at the site of inflammation. And one of the most effective methods of modern medicine is phototherapy of facial acne.

Acne can manifest itself in the form of pimples, blackheads, nodules, scars, and spots, which negatively affects both health and aesthetics. There are a number of reasons for acne:

• changes in hormonal levels;
• problems in the gastrointestinal tract of various etiologies, including dysbiosis;
• frequent exposure to stressful situations;
• increased activity of the sebaceous glands;

Before starting acne phototherapy, you should consult a doctor. Further treatment will depend on the cause of the disease and its severity. The doctor of our medical center will perform diagnostics, determine the degree of damage and select the most appropriate treatment in each case.

Do not wait until the situation worsens: start treatment at the first sign. The use of IPL technology (acne treatment with phototherapy) allows you to get rid of acne, post-acne, and scars in just 3-5 procedures.

Phototherapy for acne: features of the procedure

Its essence lies in the impact on the skin with acne by short-term powerful light flashes. The device is adjusted by a doctor individually. This makes it possible to select the optimal therapy parameters in each case.

Thanks to this irradiation, pathogenic microorganisms are neutralized, the inflammatory reaction and regeneration are reduced, and the fat balance of the skin is normalized.

Acne treatment using IPL technology has a number of distinctive features:

1. The beam passes into the deep layers of the epidermis, detecting and destroying accumulations of bacteria that cause inflammation, which is the key cause of acne.
2. The procedure is a cycle of short pulsed exposures that locally increase the temperature in the inflammation foci.
3. Maximum heating of the area leads to the permanent death of bacteria responsible for the appearance of acne.
4. Phototherapy for acne is accompanied by minimal pain and does not cause severe discomfort.
5. After the procedure, redness may appear on the skin, which disappears on its own within a short time.
6. Positive dynamics is observed after the first procedure. However, to achieve a stable and long-lasting result, it is recommended to undergo a full cycle of treatment.

The number of acne phototherapy procedures is determined by the doctor after a detailed examination of the clinical picture. He selects the technique individually for each patient.
