The science behind the treatment!
LHE has made tremendous scientific strides in the effective treatment of acne and clearer skin.
LHE treatments depend on its ability to produce the required photochemical reaction from porphyrin activation to oxygen production. This reliability is based on three controlled parameters - wavelength, temperature and concentration of photons of light.
Propionibacterium, also known as P.acnes bacteria, is a common anaerobic bacteria (lives in a non-oxygen environment) and is believed to be one of the major causes of pustular acne.
P.acnes bacteria secrete a pigment known as porphyrin. When stimulated, porphyrin produces a molecule of singlet oxygen within the follicle. This oxygen in turn attacks the P.acnes bacteria destroying it.
The goal of acne photo-therapy therefore, is to stimulate the porphyrin to produce oxygen.
Breaking the Barriers in Acne Clearing!
The treatment is optimized by combining direct heat with IPL- Intense Pulsed Light. LHE raises the temperature inside the follicle affecting a much faster chemical reaction time than what blue light treatments alone generate.
The heat inside the follicle reduces inflammation, opens the pores and helps soothe the painful lesions often associated with acne.

Light is drawn to the melanin in the hair, raising the temperature of the hair follicle.
LHE clears acne safely and effectively with a series of concentrated pulses of light and heat. The green wavelength light penetrates deep into the skin to cause an increase in porphyrins, resulting in the destruction of P .acnes bacteria. 
The red wavelength produces anti-inflammatory results. The addition of heat, unique to LHE, increases the effectiveness by opening the skin pores and promoting a faster chemical reaction, thus healing.
