Kleresca treatment

Kleresca is a modern, non-aggressive technology that has been on the market since 2014. It involves repairing the epidermis of the face with fluorescent light energy. This energy is used to treat a variety of skin problems, includingacnethe rosacea and skin aging. This biophotonic treatmentnow widely used in aesthetic medicine, helps achieve a younger, brighter, smoother complexion. Since it's a painless, non-invasive treatment protocol, it can be performed on all skin types and at any time of year, summer or winter.

How does biophotonic technology work?

This fluorescence peeling method helps the stimulates the biological process of skin tissue repair. It targets inflammations and imperfections so that the epidermis revitalizes, relaxes and recovers naturally. In fact, this technology does not destroy the skin's natural protective layers; on the contrary, it enables them to play their full role. In other words, photomodulation activates the skin from within.

This dermatological therapy consists of using a multi-LED lamp (light-emitting diode) and a photoconverter gel. This special topical product is not absorbed by skin cells and does not cause any photosensitizing reaction. The treatment acts on the various layers by photomodulation: the blue light emitted by the lamp is converted into fluorescent energy thanks to the chromophores contained in the product used. This high-speed pulsed energy penetrates the epidermis and dermis, rapidly stimulating regeneration mechanisms for effective long-term results.

How a session unfolds

The protocol is carried out in successive stages:

• make-up removal and skin cleansing ;
• local application of gel ;
• exposure to fluorescent light for 9 minutes ;
• cleansing and moisturizing after removing the product.

Two sessions per week over a 6-week period are possible to achieve optimum results.

The effects

Fluorescent light energy, or FLE, has multiple benefits:

• reducing inflammation ;
• elimination of bacteria ;
• origin of pimples and inflammation ;
• angiogenesis or the creation of new blood vessels;
• stimulation of collagen or structural protein production.

The main indications for biophotonic technology

Biophotonic technology is recommended for certain dermatological problems. It is particularly suitable for treating skin pathologies such as acne lesions and rosacea. It is also an effective solution for anti-aging or skin rejuvenation.

Acne

Many people (teenagers and adults) live with this skin condition caused by excess sebum, clogged pores or bacterial overgrowth. It's a dermatological condition affecting hair follicles and the large sebaceous glands. Chronic, it can become a nuisance, as it always leaves scars.

This pathology can be classified as mild, moderate or severe. Severity depends on whether the acne lesions are non-inflammatory or inflammatory. The first type of lesion is characterized by the presence of whiteheads or blackheads due to obstruction of the hair follicles. Inflammatory lesions can be recognized by the appearance of papules, pustules, nodules or cysts. This occurs when the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes invades hair follicles.

To overcome this skin problem, you need to know exactly what type of acne lesions you have by consulting a specialist. Among the solutions offered by the best clinics, FLE technology is considered the most effective. It is also suitable for teenagers. In fact, this method can treat severe acne lesions while significantly improving permanent marks. Fluorescent light energy is a gentle, safe, comfortable and painless solution. It's also an excellent alternative to invasive methods and medication. This technology promises long-lasting results on all treated body parts (including the back and torso).

With the progressive normalization of the epidermis and dermis, the biophotonic system delivers multiple actions:

• Reduces inflammation;
• destruction of the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne lesions;
• scar repair ;
• normalization of cellular activity ;
• stimulation of structural protein production.

To treat acne lesions, FLE therapy should be carried out twice a week over a 6-week period. Each treatment is spaced a few days to a week apart. The healing process is generally observed in the last few weeks of therapy (from the 4th treatment). Improvements continue for several months (or even a year or more) after the end of the protocol.

FLE technology helps the epidermal and dermal layers to heal naturally. It's a therapy somewhat similar to photosynthesis. It's one of the ideal options for those who can't tolerate or don't wish to follow a course of isotretinoin (oral).

Skin rejuvenation

With age, skin aging is inevitable. Certain external factors (sun, pollution, smoking, etc.) can accelerate this natural process. Lifestyle and diet also have an impact on the quality of the epidermis. This deterioration of skin cells is essentially due to the loss of elastin, the protein associated with health and youth. The epidermis loses elasticity, and signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles become more pronounced. The complexion becomes dull and lacks radiance.

Skin rejuvenation using fluorescent energy takes the form of a good anti-aging solution. This procedure stimulates the cells' rejuvenation system and collagen production. This technique helps to significantly increase structural protein (up to 400 %) while preserving protective barriers. The result: a healthy-looking complexion with a smoother texture.

With FLE technology, the signs of aging fade progressively, with no risk of damage. This gentle therapy requires no recovery time and can be used all year round, on patients of all ages.

Fluorescence rejuvenation also provides other results:

• Tightened pores ;
• reduced fine lines ;
• greater healing.

The great advantage of this rejuvenation procedure is the continuous improvement in skin quality after the treatment. Hands, neck and décolleté can also be treated. Therapy lasts 4 weeks, with one treatment per week. For some patients, results are visible as early as the first treatment.

What sets this biophotonic method apart from other anti-aging solutions is that it is gentle and non-destructive. It in no way destroys the balance and intrinsic system of the epidermis. On the contrary, it restores, relaxes and enhances vitality.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a skin condition characterized by chronic inflammation of the cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. This dermatological disease manifests itself through telangiectasia (dilation of small blood vessels), redness and blushing, tingling, pimple outbreaks... Fluorescent light energy or FLE is a very good option for reducing these various inflammatory signs.

FLE is effective for getting rid of rosacea pimplesThis is in contrast to the vascular laser, which only eliminates redness and couperose. This protocol does not require oral antibiotics. This technology is non-invasive and well tolerated by rosacea sufferers. Patients don't need much recovery time, and make-up can be applied as soon as the protocol is completed.

After the FLE session

A repairing, soothing cream should be applied morning and night to limit the appearance of transient redness, discomfort, itching, etc., but the process remains pleasant and painless. However, the process remains pleasant and painless.

The benefits of FLE

There are many advantages to this type of treatment:

• Reduced inflammation, pimples (papules and pustules) and flushes;
• reduced redness and improved microvascularization;
• relief from burning and tingling sensations;
• healing.

To treat rosacea, you need to complete 4 sessions at approximately weekly intervals. The effects of this method start to become visible during the final sessions. The improvement in skin tone continues for months after the protocol.

Recommendations, contraindications and side effects

Although FLE technology is non-invasive, there are a few recommendations to follow before starting your first session.

It is always advisable to consult a physician beforehand. This is important to establish a diagnosis and define the protocol and number of sessions suited to the condition of your skin. To be on the safe side, we strongly recommend that you contact a certified medical center or clinic to undergo the therapy.

Once the doctor's green light has been obtained, the patient must not use products containing vitamin A acid or retinoic acid (retinol), or cosmetics with photosensitizing formulas.

Contraindications

People with the following diseases are advised not to undergo biophotonic therapy:

• epilepsy (due to light) ;
• chronic migraine ;
• Hyperpigmentation (solar lentigo, melasma, etc.);
• Hypomelanosis (or albinism);
• Lupus and other skin diseases;
• herpes labialis ;
• eczema ;
• cutaneous porphyria ;
• eye disease (e.g. retinal anomalies).

As a precaution, pregnant women should avoid FLE technology.

Side effects of fluorescent light energy or FLE

During lighting sessions, the patient may feel a sensation of diffuse warmth. Generally speaking, patients tolerate the therapy well, and most find the system pleasant and comfortable. The light does not emit harmful ultraviolet rays.

Any side effects are rare, transient and completely reversible. These side effects, reported as non-serious, vary from patient to patient and do not require any special intervention by the doctor. They include

• simple redness;
• hyperpigmentation;
• localized inflammation ;
• and a slight discoloration of the hair.

In a nutshell, biophotonic peeling is a method of repairing the natural regeneration system of epidermal cells. It is a technology that can treat 3 different skin problems, namely rosacea pimples, acne lesions and skin aging. Anyone can undergo the therapy, provided they follow the recommendations and are aware of any contraindications.
