Acne treatment

Advanced therapy reducing acne, discoloration, and seborrhea

The Palomar Lux V laser treatment for acne is a modern IPL therapy that targets the causes of the problem, not just its symptoms.

The intense pulsed light emitted by the Lux V system effectively narrows the sebaceous glands, reduces sebum overproduction, and eliminates Cutibacterium acnes bacteria responsible for inflammatory changes. The technology uses precisely selected wavelengths of light that are selectively absorbed by porphyrins present in the bacterial structure, leading to their photodestruction.

The treatment not only reduces existing inflammatory conditions and acne discolorations but also prevents new eruptions by regulating sebaceous gland activity and supporting skin's healthy structure regeneration. This is an effective, non-invasive acne treatment method without the need for systemic therapy.

How does the Palomar Lux V laser work on acne-prone skin?

Laser acne treatment using the Palomar Medical Lux V system is a modern method utilizing intense pulsed light (IPL) to combat acne lesions. The Lux V device emits a broad spectrum of light that works on two fronts:

• Elimination of bacteria causing acne: Short wavelengths of light (400-700 nm) are absorbed by porphyrins in Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, leading to their destruction and rapid skin clearing from existing eruptions.

• Regulation of sebaceous glands' function: Longer wavelengths of light (870-1200 nm) penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching hyperactive sebaceous glands and slowing down their metabolism, thus helping prevent new acne lesions.

Who is the Lux V treatment recommended for?

The Palomar Medical Lux V laser therapy is an ideal solution for individuals struggling with recurrent, chronic, or treatment-resistant acne. The treatment can be an effective alternative to pharmacological interventions or a complement to dermatological therapy.

The treatment is particularly recommended for individuals:

• with active inflammatory lesions - pustules, papules, pustular eruptions
• with oily, seborrheic skin - with sebum overproduction and enlarged pores
• with post-inflammatory pigmentation - traces of old eruptions
• with visible acne scars - requiring gradual regeneration
• with skin prone to recurrence - needing supportive and prophylactic therapy
• seeking non-invasive therapy without systemic effects
• wanting to avoid or reduce oral medication use (e.g., isotretinoin)
• with combination and problematic skin during adolescence or adulthood (adult acne)

The treatment is suitable for both women and men - even in cases of hormonal acne, stress-related acne, and maskne (acne-related to mask-wearing). Thanks to the multifaceted action of Lux V, it not only treats symptoms but also addresses the root causes of the problem.

Effects of Palomar Medical Lux V laser treatment:

• Reduction in the number of acne lesions - visible decrease in active eruptions after a few sessions,
• Narrowing of sebaceous glands - reducing their activity and limiting sebum production,
• Improvement in skin texture and tone - smoothing skin surface and reducing post-inflammatory pigmentation,
• Decrease in visibility of acne scars - gradual regeneration effect and skin texture evening,
• Reduction in skin oiliness - skin becomes more matte and stable,
• Minimization of new lesion formation risk - through the lasting weakening of P. acnes bacteria and gland regulation,
• Short recovery time - no need to disrupt daily activities.

The Lux V therapy not only treats active acne but also acts preventively, supporting skin regeneration significantly improving its overall condition. It is an effective and modern alternative to pharmacology - especially appreciated by individuals seeking treatment without systemic effects.

Cycle of treatments:

• For optimal results, a series of 4-6 treatments at intervals of 2-3 weeks is recommended.
• The number of sessions can be adjusted individually to the severity of acne lesions and skin response to IPL light.
• For skin prone to recurrence, maintenance treatments every few months are possible.

Modern laser therapy in the treatment of rosacea and erythema

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness and visible tiny blood vessels on the face, especially in the areas of the cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead. If left untreated, it can spread to the neck and chest, causing discomfort and impacting the quality of life for patients.​

One of the most effective solutions in minimizing the symptoms of rosacea is medical laser therapy. Precisely targeted laser energy reaches the affected areas of the skin, eliminating damaged blood vessels responsible for redness. As a result, visible blood vessels fade, and redness decreases within a few weeks after the treatment. Additionally, patients often experience a reduction in symptoms such as burning, feeling of heat, and tingling on the face.​

How does laser therapy work in treating rosacea?

Laser therapy involves the emission of a focused beam of light, which is absorbed by hemoglobin in dilated blood vessels. This leads to their heating and selective damage, ultimately causing their closure and gradual absorption by the body. Technologies such as vascular lasers are specially designed for such procedures, ensuring effectiveness and safety.​

Who is the treatment suitable for?

Laser treatment for rosacea is intended for individuals who:

• suffer from chronic facial redness and notice visible blood vessels,

• experience recurrent symptoms of burning, tingling, and heat sensation on the skin,
• observe papules and pustules typical of rosacea (inflammatory form),
• wish to improve the appearance of their skin without the need for prolonged drug therapy,
• seek an effective and minimally invasive supportive treatment method for dermatological therapy of rosacea.

Effects of laser treatment on rosacea:

• Reduction of redness - noticeable decrease in chronic skin redness after a few treatments,
• Elimination or shrinkage of dilated blood vessels (telangiectasias) - improvement in skin aesthetics around the nose, cheeks, and chin,
• Reduction of irritation symptoms - alleviation of burning, heat, itching, and skin sensitivity,
• Improvement in skin color and texture - brighter, more uniform, less reactive complexion,
• Strengthening of the skin's natural barrier functions - reduced reactions to temperature changes and external factors,
• Reduction in recurrence of inflammatory lesions and papulopustular eruptions accompanying certain forms of rosacea,
• Enhancement of psychological comfort and quality of life for patients - alleviation of visible and tangible symptoms.

Treatment frequency:

• A series of 3-5 treatments at 3-4 week intervals is recommended.
• The number of sessions can be adjusted individually based on the severity of symptoms and skin reactions.
• To maintain the effects, maintenance treatments can be performed every 6-12 months.

Laser treatment for rosacea is considered a safe and effective method, but prior to starting the therapy, it is advisable to consult with an experienced specialist who will select the appropriate technology and treatment plan tailored to the individual needs of the patient.​​

Laser ClearSkin PRO is a modern and effective method of treating acne, which combines advanced non-ablative laser technology with a cooling and vacuum system. This treatment is safe, minimally invasive, and suitable for all skin types.

Mechanism of action of Laser ClearSkin PRO:

ClearSkin PRO uses a 1540 nm wavelength Er:Glass laser that penetrates deep into the skin without damaging its surface. The laser energy is absorbed by the tissue and converted into heat, leading to controlled thermal damage to the sebaceous glands. This reduces sebum production and eliminates Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, responsible for acne formation. Additionally, this process stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin structure and reducing acne scars.

Why should you undergo a series of laser acne treatment sessions?

Regularly undergoing a series of laser acne treatment sessions is crucial for achieving optimal and lasting results in acne treatment. Each session gradually reduces active skin lesions, decreases inflammation and scars, and improves overall skin condition. The series of treatments allows for systematic stimulation of skin regenerative processes, leading to gradual skin reconstruction and strengthening. As a result, the effects are more pronounced and long-lasting, while the risk of acne recurrence is minimized.

Effects of a series of laser treatments on acne:

• More effective bacteria elimination: Repeated sessions help eliminate bacteria responsible for acne formation.
• Sebum production regulation: The series of treatments helps normalize the function of sebaceous glands, leading to reduced skin oiliness.
• Reduction of acne scars: Subsequent sessions contribute to gradual scar flattening and skin surface leveling.
• Improvement in skin texture: The laser stimulates regenerative processes, resulting in smoother skin surface and reduced pore visibility.
• Lightening of discoloration: Laser energy aids in reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, restoring even skin tone.
• Decrease in visible blood vessels: The laser can reduce dilated blood vessels, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with rosacea.
• Long-lasting skin improvement: Regular treatments maintain therapy effects, minimizing the risk of acne recurrence.

Thanks to these versatile effects, laser acne treatment not only eliminates current lesions but also improves the overall skin condition and appearance, contributing to healthy and radiant-looking skin.

It is recommended to undergo a series of about 3 treatments at 3-4 week intervals to allow the skin sufficient time for regeneration between sessions.
