Treatment for Acne and Acne Scars with Biophotonic Klox (Lamp)

I've been having acne problems ever since I was a teenager. I've tried a whole lot of treatments over the years. From the usual salicylic cleaners, toners and cream, to Accutane, as well as isotretinoin topical creams. I've also taken Diane 35 for a while. The latter truly helped, but since my legs were swelling, and I was becoming older (in my thirties), I thought it was time to avoid it and find another solution. The Accutane treatment I had a while back had helped, but eventually, acne came back, and so I wasn't motivated to go through this again, given the mitigated results. Meanwhile, I was using an isotretinoin cream to help keep acne under control, with more or less results.

When I went to a laser clinic for a consultation, the doctor suggested me to wait a month as they were buying a new lamp for acne treatment. It's called Biophotonic Klox (Google it, there are a few websites that discuss this technology). So I decided to try it. In fact, since it was brand new, I was invited to participate to the run-in period, by receiving a free treatment.

The normal schedule for the treatment is twice a week for 6 weeks. However, it's not always easy to schedule two appointments within the same week, so the total of 12 sessions may span over a little bit more than 6 weeks in total. The treatment, for the whole face, takes about 30 minutes in total (15 minutes of lamp exposure). The process is relatively agreeable, it's like bathing in the sun with a layer of cream on your face and protective goggles. Nothing traumatizing, really.

So I had my first treatment this morning, the pictures below have been taken a few hours after the session (I had forgot to take picture before, but then, the results are not instantaneous). I will document the evolution of my acne and acne scars over the following weeks with a few pictures, in order to find out if there is real improvement. Also, I couldn't find a review about this treatment in here, so maybe it will help people make out their minds about the value of this treatment when I give my appreciations later in the process.

I had a second treatment on June 5, and have booked a third one this week (June11, third) and two others the week after (June 16, fourth; June 19, fifth). Since it takes a few weeks to see improvements, I will post pictures later. I so already see a difference on my skin texture, and I am under the impression that some lesions healed faster and that fewer are bursting out. But, all this is very subjective, and I will wait to see what happens in the coming weeks.

I couldn't go for my session today, so June 19 will be the fourth treatment. Keeping you posted on results later! I am going on vacation after, so treatments might have to be spaced up more. Will see.
