Acne is a disease of the sebaceous gland of the skin. It is caused by clogged pores,
increased sebum production and the presence of bacteria. This leads to a thickening or
inflammation of the lining of the follicle, which results in different levels of acne including:

~ mild acne known as blackheads and whiteheads
~ semi-severe acne involving inflammatory papules and pustules
~ severe acne known as nodules and cysts, which can lead to acne scarring

The clearCONCEPT® treatment process includes the latest technologies in light and laser
therapies shown to effectively treat acne by reducing oil production and killing bacteria
without the use of drugs. clearCONCEPT® Acne Treatment technologies include:

Aramis™ Laser click here for more information
To treat acne where it begins, the Aramis™ laser uses a patented wavelength to penetrate
the skin’s layers to the sebaceous glands. The laser thermally alters the reactors in the
sebaceous gland, reducing oil and bacteria production, decreasing the size of the gland and
the incidence of acne.

Microdermabrasion click here for more information
The clearCONCEPT® treatment process utilizes microdermabrasion, a non-invasive
exfoliation procedure, to reduce clogged pores and improve the cosmetic appearance of
acne scars.

                                                 Omnilux® blue light interacts with the bacteria in acne
                                                 lesions. When the bacteria absorb the blue light, it causes
                                                 a chemical reaction that produces a
                                                 bactericide that actually kills the bacteria in the pores. The
                                                 Omnilux’ red light can be used separately, or with the blue
                                                 light, to lower the level of inflammation, irritation and
                                                 redness in the skin.
