Clearing up acne in Walnut Creek, California

TheraClear®X is a non-invasive system that combines a gentle vacuum suction and broadband light. TheraClear® technology has been cleared by the FDA and is indicated as a treatment for several types of acne. Appropriate candidates include individuals with mild to moderate:

  • Comedones (or comedonal acne) – Non-inflammatory acne most commonly characterized by variously-sized blackheads and whiteheads
  • Pustules (or pustular acne) – Inflammatory acne that manifests as elevated, red spots (“zits”) with white or yellow pus-filled centers
  • Inflammatory acne vulgaris – Common form of acne, which can present as “mixed” or feature different types of skin lesions

Treatable areas include inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne on the face, back, and chest.

The process

Dr. Lee won’t know for sure if you are a good candidate for TheraClear®X until after you visit our skin center. She will thoroughly evaluate the nature of your skin concerns. If you are well-suited for this new approach to treating a wide array of acne types, Dr. Lee will develop a tailored plan. She will also discuss what to expect before, during, and after treatment.

Fortunately, one of the many benefits of TheraClear®X is its low maintenance. No special medications or extensive preparation is required to “condition” the skin for treatment. Since the technology is designed for comfort, no special products are necessary to support a pleasant and painless treatment experience. Dr. Lee uses a handpiece to gently and precisely deliver the proprietary light and suction technology to the affected areas.

Due to the design of the TheraClear® system, treatment can be completed in no time! Since this straightforward in-office procedure is tolerated so well, you can get back to your busy schedule without downtime.
