What is acne? Acne vulgaris affects up to 80% of the population at some point in their lives, characterized by areas of skin

with seborrhea (scaly red skin), comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules (pinheads), pustules (pimples), Nodules (large papules) and possibly scarring. Acne affects mostly the face, the upper part of the

chest, and the back. Acne can be inflammatory. The lesions are caused by changes in pilosebaceous units, skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland, changes that require androgen

stimulation.

Page 7: Lustre Presentation

How does Lustre Pure Light work? P.acnes, the bacteria which cause acne produce mainly corproporphyrin 3 which has an

absorption spectrum peak of 415 nm. Photo irradiation of P. Acnes colonies with visible blue light has shown to lead to photoexcitation of endogenous bacterial porphyrins, singlet oxygen

production and subsequent bacterial destruction 1

felt like I might have found a long term solution to my ongoing

I feel much more confident about myself. I also notice a great improvement in my moods. It was only when my skin started to improve that I realised that having such bad acne was actually affecting my moods and leaving me feeling low. Another fantastic feature of these treatments is that there are no side effects, which was a main concern with my sensitive skin.”
