Q. What is VersaClear Pro Acne Phototherapy?
A: VersaClear Pro Acne Phototherapy is a professional skin treatment that uses the power of light to improve the appearance of acne-prone skin. Light treatments are completely UV-free.
Q. How does it work?
A: The VersaClear Pro produces light of specific wavelengths that have been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of inflammatory acne. Intense light penetrates deep into the skin stimulates the production of "singlet oxygen", which is lethal to the bacterial responsible for acne.
Q. How long does a treatment session take?
A: Each VersaClear Pro Acne Phototherapy session takes about 20 minutes.
Q. How many treatment sessions are needed?
A: A total of 8 sessions, once or twice a week, are recommended. Additional sessions might be necessary for highly inflamed skin. Consult your skin care professional, who will develop a custom program to fit your needs and busy schedule.
Q. Does it hurt?
A: No! Treatments are painless and soothing. You and your skin will feel relaxed and refreshed.
Q. How long does it take to recover?
A: There is no recovery time. Skin medications or make-up can be re-applied immediately after treatment.
Q. When will I see results?
A: Many clients experience an immediate invigorating effect. Every person's skin is different, so results will vary. However, after several treatment sessions, you likely will see that a transition is underway. Existing acne lesions will resolve, pore size will be reduced, and skin tone will improve. New flares of acne might occur during the treatment course. However, this is part of the skin's natural healing process to unclog pores and expel dead bacteria and debris.
Q. What types of acne will it clear?
A: VersaClear Pro Phototherapy is used to treat mild to moderate inflammatory acne. This type of acne consists of small red papules and/or pustules in the skin. If left untreated, inflammatory acne can result in permanent scarring.
Q. How long will the results last?
A: Skin appearance continues to improve after the last phototherapy session is completed. How long results will last depends upon many things, including heredity and lifestyle. However, a high quality skin maintenance program will enhance results. This typically involves a once or twice daily salicylic acid wash, followed by the application of a topical skin medication such as benzoyl peroxide. For women, the use of anticomedonal skin makeup is essential. Consult your skin care professional for specific product recommendations.
Q. How much does it cost?
A: $100.00 per treatment
