| 1904s 10/16/2003 | . | Do you think that the Clearlight Acne PhotoClearing System is a safe and effective treatment for acne? My dermatoligist suggested that I consider the treatment. I am in my late 20's and have mild/moderate acne. I currently use Cleocin-T. I have tried a lot of topical treatments (retin-A, differin) and none of them seem to solve the problem satisfactorily. |
| Derm-M.D.-ASR 10/17/2003 | 1904s | This light-based system does appear to be safe and effective. I don't think anyone yet knows how its effectviness, both short- and long-term, compares to that of standard treatments like topical and oral antibiotics. Insurance, as far as I know, doesn't cover such treatments. Has your doctor exhausted all other avenues, such as oral antibiotics? If not, you might want to try them. I don't believe Clearlight is sure to clear acne indefinitely, so like any other treamtnet it may need to be repeated. Best. Dr. Rockoff | [Thread closed to new comments] |
