The Kleresca ® biophotonic platform utilizing fluorescent light energy (FLE) effectively treated both acne conglobata and hidradenitis suppurativa. FLE decreased the presence of inflammatory nodules, cysts, and associated erythema. It also supported a healing response to improve skin texture. FLE offers a new treatment approach to recalcitrant inflammatory skin conditions.
