SpectraPeel is patented two-step anti-acne procedure

Acne remains one of the most common dermatological problems and affects more than 85% of all teenagers and over 30% of adults. Acne is the term used for plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads) and includes inflammatory acnes (papules, pustules, nodules or cysts) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms

While not a life threatening condition, acne is a chronic dermatological disease and can be both upsetting and disfiguring. In serious cases inflammatory acne can result in prolonged discomfort and permanent scarring. There are many ways to approach the treatment of acne, including topical or oral medication, chemical peeling and laser therapy. Of these, SpectraPeel!" is one of the most gentle, efficacious and cost effective treatments as it both treats the immediate symptoms and alleviates discomfort while helping to control the re-occurrence of the acne. After just a few treatments patients typically experience reduced new acne counts, reduced sebum production and normalized epithelial production. Additionally, SpectraPeel!" also results in reduced pore sizes and redness and improved skin tone and color.

How many treatments are required?
