Remove Acne Completely Effectively FDA Approved

Acne Treatment Toronto

Tired of unsuccessfully trying every medication available to get rid of your acne? Now there's a quick and effective solution. Our Palomar Starlux 500 is the first device that obtained the FDA's approval for "Acne Clearing"! Many patients require just a few treatments to completely eliminate their acne problems, and after just one treatment skin is drastically improved. Acne treatment is one of the most commonly performed procedures at Q Esthetics.

Palomar Starlux 500 is currently the most powerful light system in the cosmetic and dermatology industry. When used in treating acne, the award winning system applys an IPL (intense pulsed light) handpiece to target acne at its root cause. At Q Esthetics, for achieving the best results, the IPL acne treatment may be used in conjunction with other acne treatments such as chemical peel and acne blue light. Your acne specialist will make a customized plan for you based on your acne conditions.

FAQs about acne treatment with Palomar Starlux 500

What causes acne?

Acne occurs when the skin's sebaceous glands become overactive, creating cellular debris that plugs the glands. Bacteria accumulates in the blocked gland and the result is pimples, cysts and inflammation.

How the acne treatment works?

The Palomar Starlux System works on active acne by killing the acne bacteria and it works in a separate manner on the sebaceous (oil) glands. It is often beneficial to individuals with very resistant acne such as cystic acne who have not had success with medications. The IPL short wavelength is easy for absorption by porphyrins; this destroys the acne bacteria for a quick clearance of current acne breakouts. The longer wavelength can penetrate deeper into the hyperactive sebaceous glands and slow down their metabolism to prevent future acne from forming. IPL systems are similar to lasers, but with a larger, more diffuse beam for safe and comfortable acne treatment.

What is the acne treatment like?

The IPL acne treatment involves the use of a handheld that gently and quickly flashes a high-intensity light onto targeted areas of your skin. You may experience a slight stinging, similar to being snapped with a rubber band, as you are being treated, but most people do not experience this as painful. You will wear protective goggles over your eyes during the procedure. Your skin may be slightly red after the IPL acne treatment. This temporary redness, which may look and feel like a slight sunburn, may last a few hours to a few days. It is recommended that you wear a sunscreen following treatment to protect your skin. After treatment, the acne blemishes shrink and become less noticeable and then fade after approximately one week.

Following the acne treatment, your medical aesthetician may recommend a skin care product to speed up the recovery. At Q Esthetics Laser Clinic, we offer the innovative Obagi and Revision skin care products recommended by dermatologists and acne specialists.
