What is the AcneLight Therapy System™?
The AcneLight Therapy System™ is a revolutionary device
built for patients to use at home for the treatment of acne.
It uses the same FDA approved photodynamic technology as used by the
ClearLight™, Omni Lux™, and Blu-U™ machines used in physician's offices.
It utilizes two high intensity 500 Watt light bubs (total of 1000 Watts) to generate
specific wavelengths of light which have been shown to kill the bacteria which cause acne.
The photodynamic technology used by the AcneLight Therapy
System™ has been featured in many magazines and TV shows and is fast becoming the
leading and most effective acne therapy which can be used at home.
 How does the AcneLight
Therapy System™ treat acne?
The AcneLight Therapy System™ uses very intense Blue
(400nm-420nm) and Red (630nm-650nm) light to kill the bacteria which cause acne.
Acne results from infection by the bacteria P.Acnes
(Propionibacterium Acnes) and Acne Vulgaris. Every skin pore on our body from which
hair grows, has a Sebaceous Gland which produces oil (Sebum) in order to lubricate our
skin.
When the pore becomes plugged with dirt, oil (Sebum), or dead
skin, the bacteria begin to proliferate and cause an infection from within the skin.
The bacterial infection causes inflamation which is what we see
as acne. P.Acnes bacteria contain porphyrins, which can be
excited by Blue (400-420 nm ) light.
When the porphyrins are excited by the intense blue
light, they become converted to a chemical which is deadly to the P.Acnes bacteria.
This leads to the death of the bacteria.
 Stimulation with
intense Red (630-650nm) light leads to tissue repair and regeneration. Stimulation
with the red light causes the release of cytokines in the skin which stimulate fibroblast
proliferation and the production of growth factors, thus influencing the inflammatory
process and leading to disappearance of the acne.
 How is the
AcneLight Therpay System™ used?
The AcneLight Therapy System™ has two 500 Watt light
sources (blue and red). Each light source is positioned at a 45 degree angle, and
about 1 foot (~25 centimeters) from the face (or any other skin area to be treated - such
as the back). The light sources can be most easily placed on a tabletop as you sit
in a chair facing the light sources.
You must wear protective eye goggles in order to protect your
eyes from the intense bright light. A fan is provided to cool your skin and make the
treatment more comfortable, as the light sources generate a considerable amount of heat.
You must thoroughly wash your skin before the treatment so that
you don't have any lotions or makeup over the skin which is to be treated.
It is recommended that you treat the skin for 30 minutes during
each treatment. Half way into the treatment (after 15 minutes), you must swap the
blue and red lights so that each side of the face is exposed to 15 minutes of blue light,
and 15 minutes of red light. The light sources can be easily moved and
positioned to many different angles and locations as you wish.
How often do I need to do the treatments?
It is recommended that you have a total of 8 treatments done
twice a week (total of 4 weeks). Since acne is an ongoing condition, you may do
maintenance treatments as needed. In general, most people may need a maintenance
treatment once every 1-2 weeks after the course of 8 treatments.
What does the treatment feel like?
The treatments are quite comfortable and totally pain free.
You may feel a slight warmth from the heat generated by the light sources. A
fan is provided to cool the skin and make the treatment more comfortable. It is
recommended that you use the device in a well ventilated room.
What can I expect after the treatment?
Right after the treatment you may feel a slight warmth over the
treated areas. This will resolve in a few minutes as you are no longer exposed to
the heat of the light sources. Your skin may look slightly flushed for a short
period of time. There is absolutely no downtime and you can resume your daily
activities as usual. Most people see a significant reduction in their acne by the
2nd week of their treatment course. You will also see improvement in your skin
texture as it becomes smoother and even toned, as well as a reduction in the size of the
skin pores.
 Can I do anything to improve the
results?
It has been shown that the use of Levulan (Aminolevulinic Acid / ALA) can enhance the results of
photodynamic therapy. Levulan is a solution which must be applied to the skin for
15-30 minutes before the treatment. Levulan can make your skin extremely sensitive
to sunlight and therefore must only be used under the care and prescription of a
physician. Consult your physician for more details. Severe forms of acne may
also require a short-term course of oral antibiotics. Consult your physician for
more details.
It is also recommended that you use an acne formulation in conjuction with the AcneLight Therapy System™. It is important to keep your
skin clean at all times in order to minimize future acne breakouts. And if you use
makeup, you should only use oil free makeup as to not clog your skin pores. Although
every person responds differently to different acne formulations, we strongly recommend
the MD-Forte cleanser and lotions.
 Are there any side
effects?
The AcneLight Therapy System™ has practically no side
effects or downtime. If you are taking certain medications which make the skin
sensitive to light, you should not use the device as it may lead to excessive skin
irritation. One of the main medications causing photosesitivity is Accutane.
You should not use this device if you are taking Accutane. Please consult with your
physician about any other medications which you are currently taking before using this
device.
Is the AcneLight Therpay System™ safe for all skin types?
Yes. The AcneLight Therapy System™ can be safely used
on all skin types and skin colors.
Can any part of the body be treated?
Yes. The AcneLight Therapy System™ can be used on any
part of the body which is affected by acne. Although the most common area is the
face, the device can also be used on the back, chest, arms, legs, and buttocks.
What other skin conditions can be treated?
In addition to acne, the AcneLight Therapy System™ will
improve any of the following skin conditions:
• Improvement in Acne
• Improvement in Acne Blemishes/Scars
• Improvement in Rosacea / Flushing
• Improvement in Actinic Keratosis
• Healthier-looking skin
• Smoother skin
• Reduced pore size
• More even skin tone
How does the AcneLight Therpay System™ compare to the
ClearLight™, Omni Lux™, and Blu-U™?
 The AcneLight
Therapy System™ uses the same FDA approved photodynamic technology as used by the
expensive ClearLight™, Omni Lux™, and Blu-U™ machines which are used in
physician's offices. Results are the same if not even better. The
ClearLight™, for example, uses two 400 Watt light sources of blue light. The
AcneLight Therapy System™ uses two 500 Watt light sources (total of 1000 Watts)
which is even more powerful than the ClearLight™, Omni Lux™, and Blu-U™
machines. In addition to the Blue light (400-420nm), the AcneLight Therapy System™ also uses Red light (630-650nm) which has been shown to promote tissue repair and regeneration
thus decreasing inflammation and promoting healthier looking skin.
Other acne devices made to be used at home use very weak LEDs or
flourescent light bulbs. These devices are practically ineffective as the light
generated must have a certain intensity to achieve any results. The AcneLight Therapy System™ generates 1000 Watts of light
power to eradicate acne effectively and safely.
How much money do I save as compare to treatments
with the ClearLight™, Omni Lux™, and Blu-U™?
 The AcneLight
Therapy System™ can save you thousands of dollars as compared to having the same
treatments done at physicians offices. Most physician's offices charge between
$150-$250 per treatment for the ClearLight™, Omni Lux™, and
Blu-U™. You can achieve the same, if not better results at home using your own
AcneLight Therapy System™. If you consider that most people need continuing
maintenance treatments, it makes more sense to have your own machine at home rather than
pay thousands of dollars to have the same treatment done at a physician's office.
Does the device require any maintenance?
The AcneLight Therapy System™ is virtually maintenance
free. You should just keep the special optical lenses clean. The light
sources use 500 Watt halogen lamps which last for many hours of operation. The
halogen lamps can be easily replaced and they can be found at any hardware store for under
$10 each.
What type of warranty is provided on the device?
The AcneLight Therapy System™ is warranted for a full 90
days from the day of purchase.
