Achieve Clarity
Singapore September 17, 2004 –- You're not alone. Nearly 17 million people suffer from some form of acne. Acne is most often the result of clogged pores, which are unable to properly shed themselves. Oil and dead skin become clogged leading to inflammation.
How to make the acne do a disappearing act? Proper cleansing, which helps remove some of the dirt and debris may help. But now, there is an even better treatment for those of us who've got half an hour to spare. That's all it takes for this gentle breakthrough wonder light to reduce the inflammation and acne count on your face.
I-Clear is a pain-free, noninvasive treatment for moderate inflammatory pimples in all age groups that has now been cleared by the FDA. I-Clear utilizes innovative Photo Dynamic Therapy technology to effectively target acne-causing bacteria without thermally affecting surrounding tissues using light. It utilizes a panel of over 1,700 focused diodes to deliver a unique 408 nm wavelength blue light that creates a highly toxic environment for the superficial P acne bacteria, which induces bacterial death and clears the skin from acne.
Patients who shun medications because of their side effects, and those who are at their wits end because of constant breakouts are embracing this new therapy called I-Clear as a powerful, effective and easy way to clear out the complexion. It provides patients with an important weapon in their anti-acne arsenal. Who says only those blessed with good genes can have effortlessly good skin?
"I have completed 5 sessions of I-Clear treatment so far, and my skin has definitely cleared out visibly." Says Ted, a patient of Dr. Low Chai Ling in Singapore.
More young people like Ted, a 24 year old postgraduate student are turning to their doctors for the I-Clear treatments to get rid of their acne without medications and expensive creams.
"I am not too keen on taking medication for my skin as I am worried about the side effects, and I am terrible at following any complicated home care regime. I-Clear has been suitable for me and my lifestyle and I will definitely continue with the treatment to maintain a clear skin."
Dr. Low has been seeing more and more patients who are seeking a clearer complexion without side effects of oral medications. Many patients are excited about I-Clear because it is such a gentle yet potent antidote for acne.
"Most of my patients take part of their lunch break to come under the I-Clear blue light for 20 minutes. I-Clear does not take a long time to do and is not uncomfortable. Most even manage to catch a few winks during the treatment."
"Of course, there will be some patients with severe acne who may require medicine in the end, but I-Clear provides a wonderful option for many patients who have mild to moderate acne. Some of my patients even come back and combine the I-Clear treatment with their regular facials to maintain skin clarity. That's just how popular the treatment has become."
Currently, the I-Clear treatment starts from US$50. Most doctors would recommend a course of 8-10 sessions for optimal results.
For those who are in a rush to clear out their faces, The Sloane Clinic in Singapore has come up with a three-step approach to treating acne that is medication free --- the Clear Skin program. It incorporates the I-Clear treatments for its anti-bacterial and purifying effect, ultrasonic deep pore cleaning for thorough spring cleaning of comedones and dead cells, and clay mud packs for suppressing excessive oil production. The result? Clear, glowing skin that's free from blemishes and impurities in an even shorter time!
Its affordability may be one of the reasons why this treatment has caught on with the public. So for those of us who have been resigned to living with blemished skin, there is hope yet for us all.
