OBJECTIVE : This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of LHE TM Light Heat Energy for acne clearance using the ClearTouch TM Acne Clearance System METHODS : A group of 19 patients with acne lesions received a series of 8 treatments each over a 4-week period, with 2 follow-up evaluations 4 and 8 weeks after the last treatment. CONCLUSIONS : All Patients demonstrated a significant reduction (close to 90%) in the number of acne lesions following phototherapy using the ClearTouch LHE technology. No adverse side effects were reported. Acne Phototherapy Acne is a multifactorial disease of the upper body sebaceous glands, especially the face. The pathophysiology of acne results from the interplay of follicular hyperkeratinization, the presence of Proprionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria in the follicular canal, and sebum production. 1 In acne patients, it was observed that some follicles produce excessive sebum. These follicles represent acne-prone follicles. The acne lesion process begins with follicles that become blocked by a plug, which is the result of hyper-proliferation of the keratinocytes lining the duct. At this stage, the lesion is called a comedone, referred to as a blackhead or a whitehead. These white and black heads can rapidly transform into inflamed lesions when the final step in the acne development process triggers a powerful immune response to the P. acnes and/or the Propionibacterium granulosum. 2 Cutaneous P. acnes are slow-growing anaerobic bacteria and may be unable to multiply in follicles in which the sebum excretion rate is high as end products of bacterial metabolism escape with ...
