Clear Skin – Active Acne Treatment and Acne Scarring

The Clear Skin solution from Alma Lasers is increasingly in demand for the treatment of active acne and acne scarring. Through the use of targeted and concentrated light waves, it is possible to go to the root of the problem and eliminate it.

Acne and Clear Skin

Nowadays, acne is a temporary condition prevalent especially among teenagers. In some adult groups, such as pregnant women, the acne phenomenon can persist, resulting in psychological and social discomfort. On a biological level, the phenomenon of acne appears when skin pores become clogged with dead skin cells, sebum, or bacteria.

To combat acne, a quick and effective method is now available: Clear Skin. This is a solution introduced by Alma Lasers that uses special laser instrumentation designed for this condition

How Clear Skin works

The instrument used is called the Harmony XL Pro. It is considered among the best equipment for medical-aesthetic treatments as it offers more than 65 pathways in a single solution.

Among them, Clear Skin technology is especially effective for combating acne marks in a controlled manner.

The working mechanism of Clear Skin is based on raising the temperature of the treated area. The thermal effect makes it possible to destroy the bacteria responsible for the condition and reduce the concentration of sebum. At the same time, sebum production is also definitely slowed down, which helps reduce the presence of acne over time.

To achieve effective results, a particular laser with a wavelength of 1540 nm is used. The technology is defined as “non-ablative,” meaning that it can reach different layers of the skin but does not cause damage across the board.

After preparing the skin to be treated, the doctor places the laser on the affected area. Through the creation of a “mini-vacuum,” the skin is raised and with it comes the removal of sebaceous cells, bacteria and micro-organisms. 

To reduce the tactile sensation and protect the skin, the laser adopts a contact cooling system.

Treatment features

Undergoing a Clear Skin treatment is completely painless.

Due to the use of non-ablative laser technology and skin cooling, the patient does not feel any sensation throughout the session.

The number of sessions required depends on the patient’s individual condition and desired results. In general, a series of consecutive sessions a few weeks apart is recommended. A few monthly maintenance sessions may be necessary to maintain the achieved results.

The average treatment duration is about 20 minutes, but it may vary slightly depending on the areas to be treated.

Clear Skin treatment is suitable for all adults, has no side effects, and is suitable for all skin types.

What you need to know before undergoing Clear Skin

It is important to know that to undergo Clear Skin there are some contraindications such as:

• not being pregnant or breastfeeding
• not being undergoing chemotherapy treatments
• not have ongoing infections

To avoid possible problems after a session, it is important not to stay in direct sunlight for a long time and, if necessary, to use a very high protective cream.
