Acne is one of the most common skin diseases, and as such about 80% of individuals aged 11-30 have experienced some form of acne outburst in their lifetime. There are many reasons for acne, including hormonal changes, stress, and hygiene. Mild to moderate inflammatory acne is common. Unfortunately in some cases, the acne doesn't heal properly resulting in acne scars. Sharplight's treatment uses a dual technology platform to treat acne and acne scars.
