Who hasn't fought (and sometimes lost) the battle of the blemish?
In fact, acne may be the one adolescent angst that lives on long after you've
passed puberty.
Whatever your age, acne manifests itself with plugged
pores (blackheads & whiteheads), pimples and blemishes, as well as deeper
cysts and nodules. Caused by porphyrins (P-acne bacteria) as well as an
overproduction of sebum (often hormonally triggered), outbreaks can lead to
permanent scarring and discoloration.
What is Acne?
Acne is caused by over productive sebaceous glands, the glands that produce
sebum, an
oil that keeps the skin soft and moist. Some people produce an
excessive amount of sebum which blocks the pore and becomes infected with
bacteria, causing whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and cysts.
Our ELOS
IPL technology is a natural photo dynamic therapy that combines blue light
spectrum with infra-red and RF to target the sebaceous glands and acne bacteria.
The Infra-red and RF energies reduce sebaceous gland activity while the blue
light destroys acne. The results are clearer, smoother and more radiant skin.
Treatment is recommended twice weekly until skin is stabilized.
Is treatment with the elos ACNE head safe?
Treatment is very safe for
all skin tones. There are many advances in the elos technology that make it one
of the safest acne treatment systems available. There are no long term health
hazards from light or electric energies used. Both have been used for decades in
medicine, surgery and aesthetics without adversity.
What kind of results can I expect from an elso ACNE treatment?
Over a
series of treatments with the elos ACNE head most patients notice a faster
healing time of existing acne lesions. Frequency and severity of acne lesions
should subside as the treatments progress. As well, on-going treatments can help
to prevent acne break-outs and promote skin healing after acne break-outs by
evening out skin tone and texture.
You can see educational slideshow below about this treatment.
How frequently do I need treatments?
Treatments are done twice weekly
for four to six weeks. Each treatment session takesapproximately 15 minutes.
After the initial series of treatments, your therapist may prescribe
additional treatments spread out over a longer interval time to fine tune your
therapy and help maintain results.
Does the treatment hurt?
The sensation is often described as a ‘hot
pinch’ or ‘snapping’ feeling. The sensation only lasts for a fraction of a
second and you may feel warmth or a tingling sensation for a short time
afterward. The cooling tip that touches the skin surface makes the treatment
both comfortable and safe. Most patients do not use topical anesthetic to numb
the skin for this procedure.
What happens after each treatment?
Temporary pinkness in the skin lasts
a very short time, and most people return to work or normal activities
immediately after treatment. Every patient responds differently but most
patients report they notice improvement as early as three weeks into treatment
series.
Who should have the elos ACNE treatment?
Anyone who wants an alternative
to traditional topical or oral therapies for acne, or who have not responded to
traditional acne solutions. Acne on the face, chest and back are all treatable
with elos. There are a few medical conditions that contraindicate people from
treatment which will be discussed with the therapist during consultation.
