Developed with leading dermatologists, Clear is a new treatment for mild-moderate acne and offers an alternative to creams and prescriptions.
Clear uses blue and red LEDs; these emit blue light to kill the bacteria that cause acne and red light to soothe inflammation and heal the skin.
In clinical trials, this kind of combined blue/red light therapy made a real difference within four weeks and, after 12 weeks, skin was 76% less inflamed and 56% clearer.
You can use it to treat any area affected by acne: either hold Clear next to your skin for 15 minutes intensive treatment or use it on the adjustable stand for a longer session on a wider area.
The timer will help you stick to recommended treatment times - full details are in the Operating Instructions.
Goggles are supplied though you'll only need them if the light will be shining in your eyes e.g. if you use Clear at a distance to treat your face.
Like all our products, Clear is certified to the Medical Device directive.
Research abstracts: the science behind Clear>
When can I expect to see results with Lumie Clear?
Everybody's different but, when used as recommended, you may see a difference within 4 weeks. Keep using Lumie Clear on each affected area and you should see excellent results in around 8 to 12 weeks.
Do I need to use Lumie Clear every day?
Lumie Clear works best if you use it every day. Continued use is recommended as part of your normal skin care routine.
How long does it take?
It all depends whether you use Lumie Clear close to your skin or further away. For best results, use Lumie Clear up close, holding it right next to affected areas. Used like this, the recommended treatment time is 15 minutes a day.
If you prefer to use Lumie Clear further away - with it angled on the base unit so you can treat your shoulders, for example - then you will need to use it for an hour or so every day. You could split this into a number of short sessions if it's more convenient for you; the effects of light therapy are cumulative, so you'll still benefit.
For Lumie Clear to be effective, you must follow the distance/recommended treatment times as stated in the instruction booklet.
Is Lumie Clear a one spot treatment?
No. The minimum treatment area is about 60 x 35mm and applies when Lumie Clear is close to the affected skin. If you hold Lumie Clear further away, the treatment area increases as the light spreads.
When do I need to use the goggles?
Blue LEDs can be hazardous if you stare at them for a long time so we recommend that you use the goggles provided with Lumie Clear during treatment sessions where the light could shine in your eyes.
Will the treatment hurt?
No. Unlike lasers or other ablative treatments, Lumie Clear is non-thermal, non-ablative, non-invasive and will not hurt.
Is Lumie Clear light therapy treatment safe?
Yes. Light therapy has been used successfully in spas and dermatology clinics all over the world. Lumie Clear follows published research and is a safe and effective means to combat acne without burning or drying out your skin.
There is no risk of tanning from Lumie Clear, in fact the levels of UV (ultraviolet) light emitted are considerably lower than the limits imposed by international guidelines.
Can I use my normal creams/lotions/cleansers?
Yes. Lumie Clear can be used alone or with other skin care treatments. People taking medication such as roaccutane should consult their GP or dermatologist before using Lumie Clear. Please note: Lumie Clear is intended to be a natural treatment and a replacement for creams and medications.
Some medication, such as isotretinoin and topical retinoids, can cause the skin to react with light. If you are taking medication that might have this type of side effect (referred to as photosensitivity), please consult your doctor before using Lumie Clear.
As your acne improves with Lumie Clear, other acne treatments could be gradually reduced or stopped. This should be under the direction of your doctor if they have been prescribed.
Will Lumie Clear work on any part of my body?
Yes. Lumie Clear can be applied to any part of the body affected by acne.
Does Lumie Clear work for any skin type?
Yes. LED light therapy is proven to work on all skin types.
