Description
Light pulses are delivered through the skin's surface using the Gemini, targeting an organic compound generated by acne bacteria called porphyrin. These porphyrins are photosensitive and when targeted by light, generate singlet oxygen, which kill the acne bacteria that cause inflammation.

What to Expect Post Treatment
The average treatment course is 4-6 treatments, each taking only 20 minutes, although more severe acne will require more treatments. Immediately following the procedure patients may experience mild to moderate redness and swelling that will fade in as little as a couple hours to as much as a few days.

Expected Final Outcome
While outcomes vary from person to person a prospective clinical study indicates that over 90% of patients treated experience marked reduction in acne lesions.
