How do ClearWaves treatments help acne/scars?

ClearWaves treatments attack acne at all three levels? 1. The oil glands?the laser/light treatments targets overactive oil glands, the root cause of acne. 2. The clogged pores?the PPX treatment helps evacuate clogged pores immediately during the treatment. Clear Solutions Skincare and other topical products can help shed dead skin cells to prevent clogged pores. 3. Bacterial growth?the laser/light treatments kill bacteria during the treatments. Because our bodies tend to get resistant to antibiotics, for continued bacterial control Dr. Chavez generally avoids using antibiotics. Instead, we recommend strong antimicrobial cleansers that do not cause resistance. Also, some topical products change the pH of the skin, making it less likely for bacteria to grow. For acne scars, the laser/light treatments stimulate new collagen to form in the skin. This improves the appearance of many acne scars by reducing the depth and softening the edges of the scars.
