Q&A Acne Management
Q: What is the new Lux V Photo Light Therapy technology?
A: The Lux V PhotoClearing device uses new light based technology to remove acne lesion safely and effectively. It is a noninvasive treatment with no side effects and it is pain free. It is suitable for all body areas including face and neck acne, chest acne, and back acne. The high-intensity band light source penetrates both the skin surface and ducts to destroy P.acnes bacteria.
Q: How many treatments are needed with the Lux V light source therapy?
A: Applied in three treatments over four weeks, the Lux V system produces excellent results. Described as the fastest acting therapy available, Lux V dramatically clears over 60% of inflammatory acne lesions in just one month. Used in conjunction with an at home skin care program to control new blemishes and remove old skin debris as well as a series of peels to rid the face of acne scarring, the Lux V will give you a fresh new face.
Q: How long will each Lux V treatment take?
A: Each session with Lux V phototherapy will take about 15 minutes.
Q: What are the side effects of Lux V APC technology?
A: With no downtime, no irritation, redness, peeling, scarring, or photosensitivity there are virtually no side effects of having the treatments.
Q: How does the Lux V system compare to other acne removal treatments?
A: Unlike oral therapies that require continuous treatment (over at least 3 months), the Lux V phototherapy has proven to work much faster. Unlike oral therapies, topical drug therapies, and various UV therapies, the Lux V treatments demonstrate no side effects. Additionally with Lux V treatments you avoid the possibility of developing antibiotic resistance.
Q: Which types of acne are effectively reduced through Lux V treatments?
A: It targets surface and ductal P. acnes. Acne lesions not infected with P. acnes bacteria do not respond to light therapy. However, only about 10% of all acne lesions are NOT caused by P. acnes bacteria, so it will be effective on approximately 80% of acne cases. Additionally, the Lux V may provide a good alternative for people who have developed resistance to antibiotic treatment.

Acne Buildup
Blocked pores create a closed anaerobic environment, which leads to rapid buildup of a P.Acne colony under the skin.
The Lux V Process in Acne Clearance
Lux V clears acne safely and effectively with a series of concentrated pulses of light and heat. The green wavelength light penetrates deep enough into the skin to cause proliferation of endogenic porphyrins, resulting in the destruction of the P.Acne. The concentrated pulse is up to 10,000 times more effective in porphyrin activation than the continuous wave light used by other light-based technologies. The red wavelength produces anti-inflammatory results. The addition of heat, unique to the Lux V method, further increases the effectiveness by opening the skin pores and enabling a faster chemical reaction.
