ACNE (SPOTTY FACE) TREATMENT

The acne skin

The acne is an inflammatory disease of fullicules and sebaceous glands.

The dry tallow and bacteria accumulate in the pores of the skin (pimple), which close the way of the tallow coming out of the fullicules. Because of the blockage the bacteria will breed further and irritate the skin by decomposing the fat contained by tallow. Finally fistular fullicule and acne will evolve. During acne treatment the light will be absorbed by the melanine of the skin and the heat causes the marked modification of inflammation because the production of tallow will be decreased, the bcteria causing the inflammation will be killed and increase the local immun reaction of the machine. In case of acne treatment the whole area should be treated (the whole face, the whole neck, etc.).

Description of the treatment

During the treatment in order to decrease the accidentally arisen inconvenience a cool transparent gel (e.g. ultrasound gel) will be applied on the skin to be treated after washing the skin by clean water. This jelly can decrease the pain during the treatment and provides an ideal and optimal connection between the skin and the treating head (namely the light). Before starting the treatment a low energy test shot will be applied near the area to be treated in order to reach the maximum efficiency and the minimum irritation. Then the area covered by gel will be covered by light impulses near each other with minimum overlapping. After the treatment the treated area will be cooled down by ice jelly for some miuntes if it is necessary, then a sedative spray containing aloe vera will be applied on the treated area and a suntan lotion with 40 to 50 factors will be used in summer time as well.
