Acne scar treatment
Acne occurs when sebum, one of skin´s natural oils, is unable to leave the skin because the pour is blocked. The result may be a blackhead or whitehead and can lead to bacterial growth under the skin’s surface. This can become inflamed and the rupture of an inflamed area can lead to scarring.
AW3® treatment works by directing pulses of light into the upper skin layer. The light is absorbed by the body’s haemoglobin in the blood vessels that feed the sebaceous glands. The treatment reduces blood supply to the sebaceous gland, which slows down production of the body oil sebum. This technique has the name “Selective Photothermolysis”.
The light produced by the AW3® system is controlled to produce the correct pulse length and right amount of energy to reduce the acne without damaging the surrounding tissue.
