on Acne Treatments How does Palomar approach acne treatments?
The Palomar LuxV dual band handpiece employs a broad spectrum of light to attack acne on two fronts: 1. The LuxVs short wavelength (400-700 nm) is ideal for absorption by porphyrins; this destroys p. acnes bacteria for a quick clearance of current acne breakouts 2. The longer wavelength (870-1200 nm) penetrates deeper into the hyperactive sebaceous glands and slows down their metabolism to prevent future acne from forming.
