This treatment also improves the appearance of mild acne scars, reduces large pores, corrects dark circles around the eyes, and reduces fine lines without downtime.

Remove Age Spots, Discoloration, and Rosacea with IPL
One of the most popular procedures, IPL photorejuvenation removes age spots and most brown pigmentation and redness due to broken capillaries. In addition to these signs of photodamage and early aging, IPL improves dull complexions, uneven pigmentation and large pores, as well as red flushing skin and Rosacea.

Correct Sun Damage and Reduce Fine Lines with Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT)
PDT is a safe and effective alternative to treating acne that also improves sun-damaged skin, fine lines, blotchy pigmentation, and rough skin patches. PDT is a treatment performed with a topical photosensitizing agent called Levulan that is applied to the skin and then activated with a specific wavelength of light. Treatment results in the removal of sun-damaged, precancerous spots. An effective treatment for stubborn acne vulgaris, acne Rosacea, and improved appearance of some acne scars, PDT may also result in a reduction of pore size and oil glands.

Acne Treatments
Clearskin Institute offers several acne treatment options. As stated above, Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) is a safe and effective alternative to treating acne vulgaris and acne Rosacea and helps improve the appearance of acne scars. PDT is a treatment performed with a topical photosensitizing agent called Levulan that is applied to the skin and then activated with a specific wavelength of light.

Additionally, a new clothing line called blumöd by SunSoul will soon be available to treat acne. The blumöd fabric's dense polymer matrix blocks the sun's harmful UV rays while fluorescent compounds in the material convert UV into beneficial blue light, triggering PDT. Wearing the blumöd clothing in the sun only a few hours a week can improve the appearance of blemished, damaged skin.

In some cases, chemical peels may also be used to treat acne and acne scars.

Laser Vein Removal
Laser therapy is extremely safe and effective for treating veins on the face, legs, neck, and chest. This treatment involves minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Microdermabrasion with Condition-Specific Infusions
The DermaSweep MD system uses a wand that gently lifts the skin against the treatment tip, removing the topmost layer of skin. The skin is left smoother as the vacuum action of the wand stimulates blood flow and cleans the pores. The increased blood flow to the skin's surface encourages collagen formation thus firming and toning the epidermis as well. DermaSweep Epi-Infusion treatments combine exfoliation with delivery of skin specific topical solutions, leaving patients with fresher-feeling and better-looking skin. The DermaSweep's topical solutions are formulated to treat specific dermatological conditions. This procedure helps treat: early aging lines, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture, photo damage, pre-PDT treatment, acne, surgical scars, and improves overall skin health.
