The pros and cons of phototherapy
The worst nightmare of every teen-ager is rejection.
For individuals looking for a place to fit in, rejection is the ultimate bringer of mental pain.
The cause of rejection can be pretty much anything.
The rejection may be real or imaginary.
One major reason for feeling rejected is acne,
even though it is a condition nearly all teen-agers share.
They also share a desire to get rid of it and the quest for a cure.
Phototherapy is one of the less known ways of dealing with acne.
The basic idea behind this approach to curing acne is derived from the fact that exposure to sunlight
burns off the topmost layer of human skin and prevents the formation of new pimples.
However, constant exposure to strong sunlight is likely to lead to skin cancer
in the long run and also to worsen acne due to UV damage.
Phototherapy is based on the use of artificial light,
and especially intense blue or red light, generated by fluorescent lamps, LEDs or lasers.
Phototherapy has been proven to decrease the number of acne-generated lesions by as much as 64-76 percent
when used twice a week.
Unfortunately,
phototherapy has several major drawbacks that will probably keep it from gaining widespread use.
The first problem is that phototherapy is one of the most expensive acne cures.
The light generating equipment is not cheap.
The second biggest problem is that phototherapy,
does not cure acne once and for all.
The patient has to go through phototherapy sessions every day in order to gain a few weeks of clear skin.
Phototherapy does not address the cause of clogged pores,
but simply induces the skin to release free radicals that kill bacteria.
There is an alternative solution to your acne problem
that is both cheaper and addresses the underlying cause of acne.
The ClearPores system is designed to keep your skin free of excess sebum,
to unclog the pores and to kill bacteria,
thus striking the pimples generation process in three parts at the same time.
It also protects your skin throughout the day in order to avoid further breakouts.
