Objectives: Objectives: The objectives of this presentation is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of using EBDs to treat acne vulgaris. Introduction: Acne is the most common dermatologic disorder that dermatologists see on a regular basis in our offices. Dermatologists are fortunate to have some new topical and systemic therapies which work extremely well but some patients need more, and this is where EBD’s may play a significant role. These devices work mainly by targeting the P. acnes bacteria found in the pilosebaceous gland. Materials / method: Clinical studies showing the efficacy of several devices will be reviewed, including the short-pulsed 1064 nm laser, the combination 589-1319 nm laser, and the intense pulsed light sources. Results: This presentation will show how these devices can be incorporated into one’s clinical practice in a most successful manner.
