THERACLEAR ACNE TREATMENT
ABOUT THERAPY
Theraclear is a two-part process that uses a vacuum and broadband light to treat, clean and remove anything that blocks the pores in the skin. Treatments are highly effective and quick to perform.
The vacuum is able to deeply cleanse pores and extract the clogged material.
The broadband light targets and destroys the bacteria that causes acne, reduces oil (sebum) production, and reduces redness and pigment changes that are associated with acne.
