ELOS Acne Treatment

Inflammation of the sebaceous glands (acne) is the most common and troublesome skin condition, affecting not only teenagers during puberty. Chronic breakouts on the face and neck, as well as on the shoulders, chest, and back, bother many patients regardless of age, becoming a source of self-doubt and sometimes serious psychological problems.

To treat acne, devices using ultraviolet light within a specific wavelength range are used. This is either ultraviolet or infrared radiation, which acts directly on blackheads and inflamed tissues via a light beam. Thanks to this, the laser beam penetrates deep into the dermis to the exact depth where the inner cavity of the blackheads is located.

The photonic nature of the laser’s action allows it to have a healing effect on all layers of the epidermis, and gradually, there is literally no trace left of the blackheads.

The thermal effect of the laser causes blood to rush to the skin, thanks to which the harmful products of blackhead breakouts are carried away by the bloodstream.

How is laser acne treatment performed?

You lie down in a comfortable position on the treatment table, and our specialist applies the laser device to your skin through a thin tube with a special tip. Flashes of gentle heat act on the acne for a few seconds.

The inflammatory process subsides, and the contents of the pore begin to dissipate. The laser’s antibacterial effect has been clinically proven. It also stimulates the natural tissue regeneration process and normalizes sebum production.

Unpleasant consequences of inflammation, such as pigment spots, are also eliminated thanks to laser acne treatment. The number of sessions varies for each patient, depending on the severity and extent of the lesion, as well as the specific characteristics of the acne.

In addition, you may need comprehensive treatment, as acne rarely occurs as a standalone condition. In most cases, acne is accompanied by various internal organ disorders.

To enhance the effect, cosmetologists may also recommend procedures such as facial cleansing, peels for problem skin, and the application of special therapeutic masks.
