A Comprehensive Guide to Address Your Patients' Acne Concerns

Acne affects up to 50 million Americans annually, making it   the most common skin condition in the United States , and s tudies have shown that 40-55% of adults aged 20 to 40   experience some form of acne .   Over-the-counter topical products for treating acne are big business, with the country   spending over $400 million on them annually . That s   a lot , considering most of those products only address the symptoms of acne, and won t   clear   up the problem for good. If your patients are suffering from blemishes, inflammation, and the scarring that acne can lead to, offer them an effective, long-term solution instead.    

Treating Acne  with  Venus Versa ™  

Venus Versa   performs the most in-demand   aesthetic procedures   popular with patients today. With one workstation, you can carry out non-invasive treatments such as   photorejuvenation / photofacial , acne treatment , hair removal , skin resurfacing , body contouring , cellulite reduction , skin tightening , and wrinkle reduction . The versatility of the device allows you to make the most of your space, while tailoring your offerings to what patients in your area are looking for.   The AC Dual applicator uses I ntense   P ulsed   L ight   to simultaneously address both the cause and visible symptoms of acne , as well as   several   other features for the best patient outcomes.

The AC Dual applicator   uses   innovative   SmartPulse   technology to ensure precise and consistent energy delivery through advanced pulse optimization , delivering p ulses of broad-spectrum light   optimized   for   absor ption   by target chromophores and transformed into therapeutic heat .   For   the   dual-light acne treatment, blue light targets the porphyrin produced by Propionibacterium Acnes bacteria, leading to destruction of the bacteria, while the longer wavelength of   red light   controls inflammation and promotes faster healing . Meanwhile, a r eal-time cooling system   monitors   the light guide temperature 1,000 times a second for unparalleled patient safety and comfort .  

According to a 2016 study, a fifth of those who develop acne will eventually experience acne scarring (upwards of 50 million Americans annually). Unfortunately, this study also makes mention that those with acne scarring were less likely to be found attractive. The good news is that there are options to treating both existing acne and scarring that may develop afterward.
