"LHE" ACNE CLEARANCE METHOD

Fighting acne is no longer a loosing battle. XtremeClear - a new generation of acne treatment systems using the unique LHE Technology effectively clear inflammatory acne lesions in just 1/3 the time it takes for standard topical and oral treatments to do the same. Each treatment is simple and takes just 10 minutes. There are no adverse effects, discomfort, patient downtime or exposure to antibiotics.

LHE works on the principle of selective photothermalysis. Hyperkeratinization that follows hormonal changes increases the sebum production, resulting in a blocked pore. This creates the perfect environment for the P.Acnes bacterium to reproduce colonies and release porphyrin.

Optimal light wavelenghts, especially green and red, penetrate into the follicle to target the P.Acnes by triggering porphyrin activation. The green light causes the porphyrin molecules to release oxygen radicals. The oxygen atacks the acne bacteria and destroys it. The red light produces anti-inflammatory results. The heat opens the p[ores and speeds up the healing.
