Acne (acne, acne, blackheads, pimples) is a disease of the sebaceous glands. Typically, acne is a skin rash that includes red, inflamed nodules (pimples) that are often painful, as well as non-inflamed comedones - painless black dots. Acne elements are located on the skin of the face, neck, chest and back. This is a chronic disease ("acne") that causes, among other troubles, severe emotional distress, especially in young people, and requires long-term, thorough treatment.
Acne is the most common skin pathology in adolescents, which causes about 90% of the visits of this age group of patients to a dermatologist. Although it can first appear at any age, in some people acne can manifest in adolescence and persist into the 50s.
The elements of acne appear as a result of blockage of the sebaceous-hairy ducts. This occurs when excess sebum and dead skin flakes accumulate. Such conditions are favorable for the reproduction of bacteria, which can lead to the appearance of pustules on the skin.
In adolescence and youth, acne is most often caused by natural age-related changes in the body associated with hormonal imbalance ("hormonal surge"). In adults, the cause of acne and acne can be a violation of the production of sex hormones.
Hardware technologies as an important component in acne therapy
Acne therapy today is carried out quite effectively, with the help of medications and cosmetic procedures prescribed by a dermatologist according to indications individually for each patient. High efficiency in the treatment of acne was shown by hardware techniques that are carried out using the latest technology AlmaLazer Harmony XL AFT (Advanced fluorescent technology).
The essence of the technology is the use of a specially designed xenon flash lamp and focused optics. The ultraviolet spectrum of light is used with its transformation through a special filtering system. AFT also ensures uniform light dose distribution (each pulse has a uniform energy density over the entire exit surface).
Recent scientific studies have shown that discrete ultraviolet radiation spectra (which are used in the device) cause the death of bacteria Propionibacterium acnes, which is beyond the power of many antibiotics. Using the Harmony XL AFT 420 with a laser handpiece that produces intense blue light in the wavelength range from 420 to 950 nm helps to normalize the skin microflora.
The high therapeutic effect of hardware techniques used in the fight against acne is combined with the absence of adverse reactions from both the skin and the body as a whole.
Benefits of Laser Acne Treatment
The course of treatment consists of 5-8 procedures - 2 procedures per week, which is convenient for most patients, and therefore they willingly follow the doctor's prescriptions.
Benefits of Therapy:
- Eight treatments in four weeks give results three times faster than drug therapy.
- Laser acne treatment is generally safe for the patient, while drug therapy may have contraindications.
- Comfort of the procedure.
- Laser therapy not only eliminates inflamed pimples, but also reduces the risk of acne scarring.
- Non-invasive therapy.
- No need for systemic medications.
In addition, acne laser therapy stimulates collagen production, which helps repair damage to the skin caused by infection.
Many traditional acne treatments fail because they don't address the source of the problem. Laser technologies allow you to act directly on the cause of acne - bacterial pathogens, destroying them and preventing severe inflammatory processes in the skin. In addition, acne laser therapy contributes to a significant reduction in the drug load on the body, pleases the patient with its convenience, short duration of the course and safety, and therefore significantly increases his adherence to treatment.
