How does the Kleresca treatment work against acne?

At Istituto Image, we conceive skincare as a scientific and personalized journey, aiming to restore skin health and balance from within. We know that acne is not just a cosmetic concern but a condition that can deeply affect psychological and physical well-being.
For this reason, we offer advanced therapeutic protocols that go beyond traditional treatments.
Among our most innovative solutions, the Kleresca® treatment represents a true revolution in aesthetic dermatology — a non-invasive and clinically tested option to treat acne effectively while respecting the skin’s physiology.

Kleresca treatment: what it is and how it works

The Kleresca® treatment is a technological leap in modern dermatology, based on a unique scientific principle: biophotonic technology. Unlike lasers, peels, or topical drugs, Kleresca® does not act aggressively on the skin but stimulates its natural repair mechanisms at the cellular level.

Its functioning relies on the synergy of two key elements:

• A photo-converter gel: A patented chromophore gel is applied to the treatment areas. This gel contains special pigments capable of converting light of a specific wavelength into fluorescent light energy.
• A multi-wave LED lamp: The skin is exposed for about nine minutes to high-intensity LED light. This light activates the gel, generating fluorescent light energy (FLE) that penetrates deep into the dermis.

This light energy acts on multiple levels: it eliminates the bacteria responsible for acne (Cutibacterium acnes), reduces inflammation, normalizes cellular activity, and stimulates the production of new collagen. In practice, Kleresca® “teaches” the skin to repair itself, working with its biological processes and not against them.

The benefits of Kleresca treatment for acne-prone skin

The advantages of a Kleresca® program are multiple and go beyond the mere reduction of pimples. The biophotonic approach offers an overall improvement in skin health, with visible and lasting benefits.

• Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action: The treatment reduces the inflammation that causes redness and swelling in acne lesions and eliminates P. acnes bacteria, directly addressing two of the main causes of acne.
• Stimulation of collagen production: Fluorescent light energy stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This not only improves skin texture but also helps repair and reduce post-acne scarring.
• Normalization of cellular activity: The treatment helps rebalance sebum production, reducing the oily shine typical of oily skin and minimizing the visibility of enlarged pores.
• Safety and comfort: It is a non-invasive, painless procedure free from significant side effects. It does not cause photosensitivity, making it safe to perform any time of the year, even in summer.

To better understand its positioning compared to traditional methods, here is a comparative table:

The Kleresca treatment process: what to expect during a session

A Kleresca® session is a comfortable and relaxing experience performed in the clinic under the supervision of our specialized therapists. The protocol is simple and well structured:

1. Cleansing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup and impurities, preparing it for treatment.
2. Gel application: The Kleresca® photo-converter gel is applied evenly to the targeted areas (face, neck, or décolleté).
3. LED light exposure: The patient sits under the LED lamp for about 9 minutes. During this phase, a pleasant warmth and intense light may be perceived, so protective goggles are provided.
4. Removal and hydration: At the end of the exposure, the gel is gently removed, and a soothing moisturizer is applied to complete the treatment.

The entire session lasts about 30 minutes. No anesthesia is required, and patients can immediately resume daily activities after the session.

Expected results of Biophotonic therapy: how long until improvements are visible?

Kleresca® results are progressive and continue to improve over time, even after completing the treatment cycle. The effectiveness of biophotonic therapy lies in its ability to stimulate deep regeneration that requires time to fully manifest.

A standard acne protocol typically involves 4–6 sessions, performed weekly or biweekly. The first improvements, such as reduced inflammation and redness, are often visible after the initial sessions. As treatment progresses, a decrease in active lesions and an improvement in skin texture are observed.

The collagen production benefits continue for months after the last session, leading to firmer, smoother skin with reduced scarring. Patience and consistency are rewarded with natural and long-lasting results.

Safety considerations and possible side effects

Safety is one of the strengths of the Kleresca® treatment. Being a non-invasive and non-systemic procedure, it does not carry the risks associated with medications or aggressive laser treatments.

The treatment is clinically tested and considered very safe. Side effects are rare, mild, and temporary. Some patients may experience slight redness or minimal temporary hyperpigmentation in treated areas, usually resolving within hours or days.

No specific preparation is required before the session and, as mentioned, there is no downtime, allowing the treatment to be easily integrated into a weekly routine.

FAQ

What are the contraindications of the Kleresca treatment?

The Kleresca® treatment is very safe but is generally contraindicated during pregnancy, in cases of epilepsy, or when taking photosensitizing medications. A preliminary consultation with a specialist is always required to assess suitability.

What is the most effective cure for acne?

The most effective cure is a personalized one. For inflammatory and persistent acne, a non-invasive approach like Kleresca® has proven highly effective because it targets the causes (inflammation and bacteria) and stimulates skin regeneration, preventing scars. Maximum effectiveness is achieved when the treatment is integrated into a medical protocol that also includes other therapies and a proper home skincare routine.

What is the Kleresca method?

The Kleresca® method is a non-invasive biophotonic therapy that uses the combination of a photo-converter gel and an LED light to generate fluorescent light energy. This energy penetrates deeply into the skin, reducing inflammation, eliminating bacteria, and stimulating collagen production to treat acne and improve skin health.

How to make acne disappear permanently?

Acne is a chronic condition requiring a long-term approach. To manage it definitively, an integrated medical program addressing both internal and external causes is necessary. Protocols combining advanced therapies such as Kleresca®, peels, and proper home care, together with a healthy lifestyle, offer the most stable and lasting results.

What is the Kleresca rosacea treatment?

It is a specific formulation of the Kleresca® protocol designed to treat rosacea symptoms. It works by reducing inflammation, redness, and papulopustular lesions typical of this condition. Biophotonic therapy helps calm reactive skin and improve microcirculation, providing relief and improving skin appearance.
