Lustre Acne Treatment

Lustre Pure Light treatment harnesses the safe, blue part of the natural visible light spectrum and the technology has been clinically proven to eliminate the bacteria that cause spots whilst also being gentle on the skin.
Scientists have found that visible blue light at a wavelength of 420 nm does not cause damage to the skin but is effective in killing P. acnes, the bacteria which causes acne. Blue light has been used by leading dermatologists for many years to treat acne. The bacteria that cause acne produce a chemical called porphyrin. When blue light at a specific wavelength is applied to this porphyrin it becomes excited, this active porphyrin has been clinically proven to destroy the acne causing bacteria.

Lustre Pure Light is a new light technology to treat spots, which has been developed by dermatologists and tested by healthcare professionals specialising in skin conditions. It is exclusively available from specialist clinics. Lustre Pure Light is designed to work alongside existing acne therapies to help achieve the best results. The device is ideal for patients who want accelerated results from an acne treatment programme or for those who may be concerned about the adverse effects of other acne treatments.

Dr Andrew McNeill, principle scientist at Ambicare:

“Blue light is a proven technology invented by leading dermatologists and physicists that has been used successfully for many years as an acne treatment. The on-going issue for patients has been related to the accessibility and cost of this treatment, which results in the acne sufferer visiting the hospital or clinic up to 16 times for the recommended treatment dose with a potential cost of £800.
“Lustre Pure Light is a technological breakthrough and has been developed to answer this problem. The product will cut down waiting times and will deliver constant access to blue light technology in a hands free device that can be worn by the patient at home to keep the condition under control at a considerably reduced cost. Lustre has no risk of side effects using clinically proven technology to eliminate spot-causing bacteria, while also being gentle on skin.”
