PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for non-ablative acne treatment and prevention.SOLUTION: The method utilizes ultrasound energy which is targeted at a region of interest to treat existing acne and prevent future acne from forming. The application of ultrasound energy causes numerous physiological effects that treat acne. Some of these physiological effects include reducing sebum, increasing perfusion at the region of interest, denaturing proteins at the region of interest, creating an uninhabitable environment at the region of interest, initiating programmed cell death at the region of interest, and initiating physical effects at the region of interest. |
