Pimples and acne are one of the most common skin concerns in Brisbane among both men and women. Both teenagers and adults experience breakout prone skin and acne is one of the hardest skin conditions to successfully treat. Some of the main causes of acne include genetics, hormones and topically applied products such as cosmetics.

There are 3 main factors that contribute to the formation of acne and pimples:

• An overproduction of sebum or oil in the skin
• Abnormal shedding of dead skin cells which block the follicle
• P. Acne Bacteria

When hair follicles become blocked by excess oil and skin cells, pimples can occur. In a normal skin the oil (sebum) travels up the hair follicle and out onto the surface of the skin as a protectant and moisturiser. In acne prone skin the hair follicle becomes clogged and this provides a perfect environment for the P. acne bacteria to thrive, causing inflammation and irritation. Left untreated acne usually worsens over time and can leave the sufferer feeling self conscious.

Acne prone skins can contain one or more of the following lesions including blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and cysts and if the acne has progressed into the deeper layers of the skin there may also be acne scarring present. Omnilux Blue Light Acne Treatments targets the pimples and whiteheads to decrease active breakouts in the skin.

Acne occurs most commonly on the face, neck, chest, back or shoulders which is where the oil glands are in highest concentration. The pimples may also be concentrated to a particular area such as where hats or bra straps rub against the skin. Omnilux Blue Light Treatments can treat all these areas as the adjustable panels can be wrapped around curved areas like the shoulders or flattened out to target a flat area like the back.

Omnilux Blue Light Acne Treatments use a panel of special LED or light emitting diodes to produce a high intensity blue light. The Omnilux Blue Light Treatments target the bacteria overpopulation in the follicle and provides a progressive reduction in acne breakouts with up to 90% clearance rate. This new light therapy is a pain free, drug free and safe way to get rid of your acne breakouts.
