Innovative Acne Solutions

In addition to standard acne treatments offered by our partner practice The Skin Centre, Luminnova Health offers some innovative treatment options for stubborn acne or if you just want to speed up your response.

Sublingual Laser

The sublingual laser can be used to target acne bacteria. Acne bacteria produce substances called porphyrins. These are natural photosensitizers which act like Trojan horses when activated by certain wavelengths of light. The light from the sublingual device causes the porphyrins to kill the bacteria. This is a form of laser photodynamic therapy (laser PDT).

A more powerful alternative is to combine the sublingual laser with photosensitizing supplements such as PhotoActive+ so that the photodynamic effect is augmented and more rapid response is achieved.

Laser Watch Home Therapy

Although less powerful than the sublingual laser, the laser watch offers the convenience of home treatments whenever you need it. In order to target acne bacteria, it should be combined with one of our safe PDT supplements, PhotoActive+ or UltraCur Pro+. For best response it should be used in conjunction with standard acne therapy.

Topical Curcumin

Curcumin has been shown to have a staggering number of health benefits for the internal organs and the skin. This natural treatment is very effective in combination with standard acne regimens. Take a look at the article below for more details.
