Toronto Laser Acne Removal Clinic

Most other clinics that purport to treat acne only do so with topical antibiotics, oral antibiotics or Accutane®. Most physicians and acne clinics pay little attention, to the actual cause of the acne problem that is, bacteria that proliferate at the base of the sebaceous glands of the skin. During adolescence or adult years, the changes in actual size of the secretory ducts of the sebaceous glands causes sebaceous plugs, bacterial over growth and acne lesions. Most topical and oral antibiotic therapies are only partially effective and take up to 12 weeks for any clinical effects. In addition, Accutane takes a long time to show some clinical improvement in the acne and is accompanied by some serious potential side effects.

The ONE TEN LASER™ Acne Program is 4-8 weeks long and uses the latest in high-tech medical equipment to treat the very cause of the acne lesions, namely the bacterial overgrowth, to hasten the elimination of active acne lesions and help to prevent future breakouts. This Acne Program consists of the following therapy:

ClearLight™ and Intense Pulsed Blue Light: These unique Intense Light devices emit UV-safe, intense blue light that strikes the acne dense regions of the skin and kills the bacteria that cause the acne. Each session is a simple, painless, 10-minute outpatient treatment with no downtime. The sessions of ClearLight™ and pulsed blue light are scheduled twice weekly and the patient can return to work after each treatment.
