Destroy Acne Bacteria Without Antibiotics
Acne Clear's 420nm blue light generates reactive oxygen species that kill P. acnes bacteria on contact. No antibiotic resistance, no systemic medication, no disruption to beneficial skin flora.

Acne Clear in Milpitas, CA
The breakouts cycle endlessly. Topical creams suppress one flare-up while another forms beneath the surface. The redness lingers for weeks after each lesion resolves, and the frustration of unpredictable skin becomes its own burden.
Everis Aesthetic Medicine uses Acne Clear — a Sciton BBL-based treatment — to target acne-causing bacteria with specific wavelength light energy at our Milpitas clinic. Our ABAM-certified physicians use the 420nm blue light filter to destroy Propionibacterium acnes at its source, reducing active breakouts and calming post-inflammatory redness without harsh medications.
What Is Acne Clear?
Acne Clear is a light-based acne treatment delivered through the Sciton BBL platform. It uses specific wavelength filters — primarily the 420nm blue light band — to target porphyrins produced by Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne. When porphyrins absorb 420nm light energy, they generate reactive oxygen species that destroy the bacteria from within.
This photodynamic mechanism eliminates active acne without antibiotics, retinoids, or mechanical extraction. The treatment also delivers anti-inflammatory effects that reduce the redness and swelling surrounding active lesions.
How Acne Clear Differs from Topical Treatments
Topical acne treatments work on the skin's surface and take weeks to reach therapeutic concentrations. Oral antibiotics create systemic exposure for a localized problem and carry resistance risks with prolonged use. Acne Clear delivers targeted energy directly to the bacteria within sebaceous follicles, destroying them on contact.
Because the mechanism is photodynamic rather than chemical, there is no bacterial resistance, no systemic side effects, and no drying or irritation of the surrounding skin. Results begin with the first session.
Beyond Active Acne: Treating Post-Inflammatory Redness
Active breakouts leave behind post-inflammatory erythema — persistent redness that can last for months after the lesion itself has resolved. Acne Clear's BBL wavelengths can be combined with vascular-targeting filters to address this residual redness simultaneously.
Your physician at Everis Aesthetic Medicine selects the filter combination that addresses both your active breakouts and the lingering discoloration, treating the full spectrum of acne-related concerns in a single session.
Benefits of Acne Clear Treatment
Reduce Active Breakouts and Inflammation Simultaneously
The photodynamic mechanism both eliminates bacteria and reduces the inflammatory cascade surrounding active lesions. Patients at Everis Aesthetic Medicine see fewer new breakouts and faster resolution of existing ones.
Address Post-Inflammatory Redness in the Same Session
BBL's interchangeable filter system allows your physician to combine the 420nm acne filter with vascular-targeting wavelengths. Active acne and residual redness are treated together — no separate appointments required.
Non-Invasive with No Downtime
Acne Clear requires no topical preparation, no extraction, and no recovery period. Treatment takes 15 to 20 minutes. You return to normal activities immediately with no visible signs of treatment.
Our Acne Clear Treatment Process
1
Acne Assessment and Treatment Planning
Your physician evaluates your acne type, severity, distribution, and skin type at our Milpitas clinic. They distinguish between inflammatory, comedonal, and hormonal patterns to determine whether Acne Clear is the appropriate primary treatment or part of a broader protocol.
2
Filter Selection and Platform Configuration
The physician selects the 420nm blue light filter as the primary treatment wavelength and may add complementary filters for vascular concerns or post-inflammatory redness. They configure the Sciton JOULE platform with the pulse duration and fluence settings matched to your condition.
3
Acne Clear Light Treatment
The physician guides the BBL handpiece across the affected areas in systematic passes. You feel mild warmth during each pulse. The 420nm light penetrates into the sebaceous follicles where P. acnes bacteria reside. Most facial treatments take 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Post-Treatment Guidance and Follow-Up
The treated area may appear slightly pink for an hour after the session. No special wound care is needed. Your physician provides a maintenance skincare protocol and schedules follow-up sessions — typically a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart for active acne.

ABAM-Certified Physicians Treating Acne with Precision Light Therapy
Effective light-based acne treatment requires accurate diagnosis of acne subtype and precise filter selection. Inflammatory acne with high bacterial load responds to 420nm. Post-inflammatory redness requires vascular-targeting wavelengths. Treating the wrong target wastes sessions and delays improvement.
Everis Aesthetic Medicine's physicians hold ABAM certification from the American Board of Aesthetic Medicine. They diagnose your acne type, select the appropriate BBL filter combination, and calibrate energy settings to your specific condition — not a one-size-fits-all acne protocol.

I had such a great experience at Everis Aesthetic Medicine Spa! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, kind, and professional. I absolutely loved my results. Everything was explained thoroughly, and I felt like I was in very knowledgeable, skilled hands the entire time. The treatment itself was quick and smooth, and the outcome looks so natural, exactly what I was hoping for.
Had a great experience at Everis! The staff there were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Dr. Ku performed my hydrofacial and did an amazing job. It is reassuring to know the owners are medical doctors that have over a decade of experience.
Visited this new medical spa the other day and had a great experience! The office is professional, modern, and has a really welcoming atmosphere. Linda PA-C did my HydraFacial and was so personable and easy to talk to. She took the time to understand my skin concerns and customized the treatment to what I needed.
I just visited this new Med Spa located in Milpitas. The space is clean, spacious and welcoming! I got a hydrafacial and the whole process was relaxing from start to finish. They will be adding more services soon like Botox, IV treatment, lasers and more. Excited to come back soon!
Common Questions About Acne Clear
How many Acne Clear sessions do I need?
Most patients at Everis Aesthetic Medicine complete 4 to 6 sessions spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart for active inflammatory acne. Maintenance sessions may be recommended monthly or as needed to prevent recurrence.
Does Acne Clear work on all types of acne?
Acne Clear is most effective for inflammatory acne caused by P. acnes bacteria. It also reduces post-inflammatory redness. Purely comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads without inflammation) may respond better to other treatments. Your physician determines the best approach during your assessment.
Can I continue my acne medications during treatment?
Most topical and oral acne medications are compatible with Acne Clear. However, photosensitizing medications may need to be paused. Your physician at Everis Aesthetic Medicine reviews your current regimen during your consultation.
Is there any downtime after Acne Clear?
No. You may notice mild pinkness for up to an hour after treatment, but there is no peeling, no purging, and no activity restrictions. You can apply makeup and return to your routine immediately.
Will Acne Clear help with acne scars?
Acne Clear targets active bacteria and inflammation, not scar tissue. For existing acne scars, your physician may recommend complementary treatments such as Moxi fractional laser or microneedling. Preventing new breakouts with Acne Clear reduces the risk of future scarring.
Can Acne Clear be combined with other BBL treatments?
Yes. Because Acne Clear uses the Sciton BBL platform, your physician can combine the 420nm acne filter with other BBL filters in the same session to address pigmentation, redness, or sun damage simultaneously.
