Dermatologists are driven by data and would not choose to recommend treatments to their patients without good evidence. However, after years of treating acne in the clinic, it is quite clear that for some patients, oral medication is not an option. This may be because they are trying to conceive, undergoing fertility treatment such as egg or embryo freezing, or awaiting embryo implantation. They may also be unsuitable for oral treatments due to other medical issues or have a personal preference for avoiding tablet treatment.<\/p><p>Having options such as BroadBand Light (BBL) alongside an armoury of prescription treatments is central to offering a comprehensive, well-led acne service and this is exactly what Self London does well. Our expert consultant dermatology team can recommend skincare, use BBL and offer peels, as well as prescribe topical therapies, hormonal medication (eg, spironolactone) and isotretinoin. Every option is available to us which ensures we are giving you comprehensive advice and not simply offering you the only treatment we have at our disposal. Treatment plans are made after thorough assessment as well as taking into account patient preference.<\/p><p>BroadBand Light in acne has a very useful role in acne-prone skin of all ages or women who are trying to conceive or undergo fertility treatments. We know this latter category must stop their oral medication and many also opt to discontinue their topical retinoid which is commonly used for acne maintenance. Options are limited and acne recurrence during this time can lead to distress, shame, anxiety, body image issues and even depression \u2013 not exactly an ideal mental health scenario when thinking about conception.<\/p><p>Acne development is multifactorial and driven by excess oil production, plugging or blockage of the hair follicles, inflammation and the presence of a bacteria known as Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). Sciton\u2019s Forever Clear BBL uses a unique three-step process using different wavelengths of light to target various parts of the acne development process:<\/p><ol><li>Blue light at around 420nm is used on the skin to eliminate C. acnes. This step helps reduce and improve the appearance of active acne as well as prevent new breakouts.<\/li><li>Next, yellow\/red light is used to reduce the inflammation and redness associated with acne. This helps resolve active inflammatory acne and reduce scarring.<\/li><li>Finally, the skin is treated using visible and infrared light to help complement the results of the first two steps.<\/li><\/ol><p><br \/>The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes and a minimum of six treatments carried out at two-weekly intervals will usually produce the best results; there is minimal to no downtime. Acne benefit continues for a few weeks following the last BBL treatment carried out to protocol and the effects will be maintained until the C. acnes bacterial population returns back to its initial concentration; this will eventually occur as a matter of course as it is part of the skin\u2019s microbiome. Some people may find a maintenance treatment will be required within three to six months of the initial series of treatments.<\/p><p>When it comes to acne, the more options we have available to treat our patients, the better. Clinic-based treatments will always be more effective than home devices for safety reasons; powerful devices will not be approved for home use. Self London is able to treat acne in a comprehensive manner, being sensitive to the needs of its patients and recognising that sometimes offering a tablet is not the right solution and other options should be explored.<\/p><p>Refs<br \/>Bitter P.

Data additionally shows that it can potentially rejuvenate ageing skin by altering gene expression post-treatment. It therefore also has a role in preventative management of chronological skin ageing. It is a \u201cnext-generation\u201d type of intense-pulsed light (IPL) device due to its ability to treat a wider range of skin conditions, as well as its documented benefit in slowing down the ageing process of the skin.<\/p><p>BBL works by using light which can be filtered by specific wavelengths. This light energy is absorbed by different targets in the skin to include pigment (melanin) or blood vessels. Light and heat energy destroy pigment and close-off superficial vessels as well as triggering a natural wound-healing response in the skin which will generate new cells and produce collagen.<\/p><p>BBL is an FDA-approved device suitable for most skin types with minimal recovery time and a low risk of complications. It can be used on any part of the body but the most commonly treated areas are the face, neck, chest and hands.

By day three or four your skin will peel, revealing your new skin beneath.<\/p>\n<p>Make-up can be applied 24 hours later if needed. Most people see initial results between two and five days after treatment, but your skin will continue to improve over time. Most patients see the greatest pigmentary improvement in the first two to three weeks. This is followed by a dermal regeneration phase that continues to improve for months. HALO results will last for years to come, but it is important to keep skin protected at all times using high factor, broad-spectrum sunscreen. Each additional future HALO treatment will improve the results, giving you even better looking skin.<\/p>\n<p>HALO treatment is customised for your skin and your lifestyle. The face, neck and chest are the most commonly-requested treatment sites, but HALO can safely be used on all parts of the body across all skin types. Depending on your needs, your clinician may recommend a single treatment, or a series of treatments. In order to find out which is the best option for you, a consultation is required first to assess your skin and suitability for treatment.

It is an ideal treatment for scars, deep resurfacing to improve skin ageing, select cases of pigmentation and healthy skin maintenance. In particular, this laser type is considered to be a gold standard treatment for acne scars. Unlike full-field resurfacing which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, the ProFractional laser treats columns of skin by ablating or vaporising narrow channels when fired. Only \u201cfractions\u201d of the skin are treated; these are enough to generate a wound-healing response in the skin for clinical improvement, but allow for a much more rapid recovery time as the normal columns of untreated skin speed up healing.<\/p><p>The treatment plan with the ProFractional laser is highly customisable and a number of variables can be controlled by the treating clinician such as ablation depth, coagulation, density of treated area and scan pattern. It can be used on all skin types with caution and expertise of the treating doctor. Those with skin of colour may need specific pre- and post-treatment which will be discussed prior to any treatments.<\/p><p>Topical anaesthetic is applied to the skin for 30 to 45 minutes prior to treatment and is otherwise tolerated well. Patients may experiences a few days of peeling and sun sensitivity. The healing process can take five to seven days, depending on treatment settings. The number of overall sessions required depends on the extent and severity of the issue being treated. Whilst initial results may be visible as early as one week after treatment, most patients see continual improvement for up to six months. Results can last for many years with maintenance of a good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle. However, bear in mind the ageing process continues, and some patients may wish to have repeat treatments every 12-18 months from a skin rejuvenation perspective.<\/p><p>The ProFractional laser can be combined with other light and laser devices depending on the presenting concern. A laser consultation is required to assess your suitability for treatment and to give you an idea about realistic results.

Dermatologists are driven by data and would not choose to recommend treatments to their patients without good evidence. However, after years of treating acne in the clinic, it is quite clear that for some patients, oral medication is not an option. This may be because they are trying to conceive, undergoing fertility treatment such as egg or embryo freezing, or awaiting embryo implantation. They may also be unsuitable for oral treatments due to other medical issues or have a personal preference for avoiding tablet treatment.<\\\/p><p>Having options such as BroadBand Light (BBL) alongside an armoury of prescription treatments is central to offering a comprehensive, well-led acne service and this is exactly what Self London does well. Our expert consultant dermatology team can recommend skincare, use BBL and offer peels, as well as prescribe topical therapies, hormonal medication (eg, spironolactone) and isotretinoin. Every option is available to us which ensures we are giving you comprehensive advice and not simply offering you the only treatment we have at our disposal. Treatment plans are made after thorough assessment as well as taking into account patient preference.<\\\/p><p>BroadBand Light in acne has a very useful role in acne-prone skin of all ages or women who are trying to conceive or undergo fertility treatments. We know this latter category must stop their oral medication and many also opt to discontinue their topical retinoid which is commonly used for acne maintenance. Options are limited and acne recurrence during this time can lead to distress, shame, anxiety, body image issues and even depression \\u2013 not exactly an ideal mental health scenario when thinking about conception.<\\\/p><p>Acne development is multifactorial and driven by excess oil production, plugging or blockage of the hair follicles, inflammation and the presence of a bacteria known as Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). Sciton\\u2019s Forever Clear BBL uses a unique three-step process using different wavelengths of light to target various parts of the acne development process:<\\\/p><ol><li>Blue light at around 420nm is used on the skin to eliminate C. acnes. This step helps reduce and improve the appearance of active acne as well as prevent new breakouts.<\\\/li><li>Next, yellow\\\/red light is used to reduce the inflammation and redness associated with acne. This helps resolve active inflammatory acne and reduce scarring.<\\\/li><li>Finally, the skin is treated using visible and infrared light to help complement the results of the first two steps.<\\\/li><\\\/ol><p><br \\\/>The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes and a minimum of six treatments carried out at two-weekly intervals will usually produce the best results; there is minimal to no downtime. Acne benefit continues for a few weeks following the last BBL treatment carried out to protocol and the effects will be maintained until the C. acnes bacterial population returns back to its initial concentration; this will eventually occur as a matter of course as it is part of the skin\\u2019s microbiome. Some people may find a maintenance treatment will be required within three to six months of the initial series of treatments.<\\\/p><p>When it comes to acne, the more options we have available to treat our patients, the better. Clinic-based treatments will always be more effective than home devices for safety reasons; powerful devices will not be approved for home use. Self London is able to treat acne in a comprehensive manner, being sensitive to the needs of its patients and recognising that sometimes offering a tablet is not the right solution and other options should be explored.<\\\/p><p>Refs<br \\\/>Bitter P.
