Home // Medical Spa Services // ClearLight Acne Treatment

No matter what age you are, if you are dealing with chronic acne it can be depressing and disheartening. From ongoing unsightly blemishes to the scarring or marks it can leave, people often feel self-conscious and unattractive and it can even begin to affect the self esteem. Start regaining your self-esteem with clearer skin by scheduling your consultation with Dr. Schafer by calling his San Diego office at this toll free number 800-810-5449 or you can schedule an appointment online.

ClearLight is an acne treatment that gets right to the source: it destroys the p. acnes bacteria, the most common cause of acne. ClearLight penetrates the skin and targets the bacteria both at the skin's surface and underneath. And while ClearLight is more effective than other treatments, another advantage is that it has very few, if any, side effects. Treatment results can last up to two years.

What are ClearLight Treatments Like?

ClearLight employs a blue light that travels at a specific wavelength to destroy the acne-causing bacteria. Treatments take place at the New Image Surgical Center, with patients sitting in a comfortable chair (you can even listen to music) while the ClearLight is exposed to their skin. Most treatments are completed within 30 minutes.

For best results, treatments should happen twice a week for about four weeks.

Risks and Complications

While some people may experience a temporary redness to the skin, there are no complications associated with ClearLight. This is especially good news for people with adverse reactions or allergies to topical creams or medication.

ClearLight requires no downtime or recovery period. Patients can return to their normal lives directly after treatment and resume their regular activities. As the treatment cycle continues patients will see more and more improvement to their skin condition, ultimately yielding healthy skin and big hope for people who suffer from acne.
