The Acne bacteria - now known as Cutibacterium Acnes - live on everyone’s skin

Usually causing no problems, for those with Acne the build-up of oil is an ideal environment for the bacteria to multiply. This is accompanied by inflammation which leads to the formation of red, swollen or pus-filled spots.

A bit of blue light basics

Acne naturally produces porphyrins, which make the bacteria visible when we shine a special light called a Woods Light (a longwave UV light).

When porphyrins are exposed to blue light, they break up, releasing singlets of oxygen, which kill the Acnes bacteria.

Specifically, blue light at 415 nm is clinically proven to destroy the bacteria.

Acne begins to clear and continued blue light use can help reduce P. acnes growth and stop new spots from forming. 

LUSTRE® ClearSkin emits blue light at a wavelength of 415 nm and does not contain any of the ultraviolet light which can damage skin.

When applied to spots, LUSTRE® ClearSkin promotes a natural photodynamic response and produces PpIX (Protoporphyrin IX), which results in a reduction in the bacteria that cause the spots (C Acne).


Continued use of LUSTRE® ClearSkin Blue Light use can help reduce P. acnes growth and stop new spots from forming. Visible improvements can be seen within weeks.  

A Successful Acne Treatment 

How to start?

1. TEST YOUR SKIN!
Test the device on your inner forearm for a complete 20 minute treatment cycle. Once the device is switched off, please remove the LUSTRE® ClearSkin device from your skin carefully and slowly by lifting the blue tab on the tape. Immediately after the treatment your forearm may look like these pictures. This is a normal reaction. Wait 24 hours.

If the test area STILL looks like this after 24 hours, this is an adverse reaction. You ARE sensitive to the light or adhesive strips used in the LUSTRE® ClearSkin device. The LUSTRE® ClearSkin is NOT suitable for you.

2. ALWAYS REMOVE THE DEVICE GENTLY.
Peel the device slowly away from the skin by lifting the end of the adhesive tape. Removing the device too quickly can cause temporary bruising of your skin. 

3. FOR SENSITIVE OR DRY SKIN:

Apply a thin layer of non-comedogenic moisturiser on the area before applying the device.

how it works

LUSTRE® ClearSkin

The LUSTRE® ClearSkin treatment pods are equipped with a timer for a 20 minute-long treatment session. They automatically turn off once your treatment is over. A short beep will signal the end of the treatment.

Blue Light Technology is a non-invasive treatment method. It is a clean and safe technology that activates the skin's natural defense mechanisms.

The patented design guarantees that the evenness of the Blue Light's intensity is consistent across the skin and its flexible lining prevents light leakage.

What can you expect during/after the treatment:

During use: 
You may feel a gentle warming of the skin being treated.
You may find a slight reddening like a suntan of the skin in the treated area.

This is completely normal and is no cause for concern. It will disappear after a day or so. If your skin is sensitive to tanning, we do not recommend more than one 20 minute treatment cycle on each skin area, each day. 

LUSTRESTRIPS
To make your acne treatment a holistic experience

The LUSTRESTRIP is a special medical tape which holds the LUSTRE® ClearSkin pod close to the problem skin.
It has been carefully monitored and designed to optimise the effectiveness of every treatment session.

LUSTRESTRIPS IN ACTION

- They hold your device in place at the right distance to the skin for the right amount of time allowing evenness of the intensity of the Blue Light across the skin as well as freeing you during treatment time to get on with your life.

- They help exfoliate the skin and open up blocked pores which is key in getting rid of spots, pimples and acne.

- They prevent the spread of bacteria & possible skin reinfection if changed after each session. 

Treatment Phase

LUSTRE® ClearSkin uses a specific cumulative dose of light (415nm). Over the course of your treatment you’ll see the benefits to your skin. We recommend the full course of treatment (up to 12 weeks) to get the best results.

TREATMENT TIME

WHERE

Face, forehead, cheeks, chin back or/and shoulders

WHO

For those suffering from mild to moderate acne

Maintenance Phase

After the full cycle of 12-week treatment, we recommend using your LUSTRE® ClearSkin device periodically or when new breakout starts to appear on the skin.

The LUSTRE® ClearSkin Blue Light Technology is perfect for keeping acne at bay and maintain your skin's healthy glow!

Kieran, 20 from Suffolk, is one of the 645 million people worldwide who suffers from acne: 

"In two weeks, my acne had disappeared and no new spots had formed. In four weeks my complexion was clear but I continued to use it as part of a new easy skincare regime to tackle the scarring that the acne had left. 

It seemed pretty normal to experience some form of mild acne being a teenager. However, in the last four years it became a real frustration because as a young professional, I felt like I should be over any spotty teenage skin.

I tried creams, diets, prescribed medication, even changes to health and fitness regimes and while some things worked in the short-term, I really wanted to keep acne at bay longer term. It was my dad that shared a link to the LUSTRE® Solo. I didn’t want to be reliant on tablets, so I gave it a go. I started to use it in the evenings for 20 minutes and it wasn’t long before I noticed a difference."

She shares her story on how she gained control of her skin condition without prescription drugs – she was offered several treatment options when she was 14 years old but refused it because of the side effects.

“I would not leave the house without make up on and was so insecure of my skin I didn’t even like my family seeing my real face. Being a very sporty and outdoorsy teenager this did make it very hard, I had sports every day after school and if not two different sports and wearing makeup during sports probably did not help my skin at all but not wearing makeup wasn’t an option.”

After multiple visits to many doctors, she finally visited the Temple Medical Clinic and was prescribed a combination of treatments including cleansers, creams, skin peels, blue light therapy, as well as changing some lifestyle habits such as her diet.

She was then recommended a product called LUSTRE® ClearSkin Solo – a wearable blue light device which uses the same standard of blue light as in a clinical setting. According to Dr Robson, LUSTRE® ClearSkin is ideal for managing breakouts at home and in between clinical treatments and can be used hands free every day.
