Mary O’Donnell of the Cosmetic and Hair Restoration Clinic at the Bon Secours in Tralee answers questions on the AC Dual treatment for acne available at the Clinic…
At the CHRC we get asked a lot about acne and treatments for the face, back and chest. Acne is one of the most common skin conditions.
Aside from the physical effects of acne, the condition can also have an impact on emotional and psychological well-being.
What treatment is available to treat acne?
AC dual is the treatment available for acne here at the CHRC, Bon Secours Hospital Tralee.
How does the treatment work?
The treatment utilises intense pulsed light technology to deliver direct bursts of blue and red light onto targeted areas of the skin. Both the blue and red light have acne fighting capabilities.
The blue light targets and eliminates the bacteria causing acne, while the longer wavelength of the red light reduces inflammation on the targeted area.
Smart pulse technology embedded in the applicator ensures precise and consistent energy delivery that is maintained throughout the course of treatment.
The real time cooling feature detects the applicator temperature to maintain safety and comfort.
How does the treatment feel on the skin?
It feels like an elastic band tipping the skin.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment is quick and comfortable and usually takes around 30-40 minutes.
How many treatments will I need?
A course of 8-10 treatments is recommended and can be done twice weekly once four days are left in between each treatment.
