Dual-Mode Acne Treatment Device — Clinical-Grade Light Therapy for Active Breakouts & Acne Scars The JOVS Acneaway uses two distinct wavelength ranges to treat the two stages of acne that most devices ignore: active breakouts AND the scars they leave behind. Most acne devices address one or the other. The Acneaway treats both in the same device with separate dedicated modes, each operating at a different depth and wavelength to target different biological processes. Clinical testing shows measurable results within days — 56% reduction in oil production after 3 days, 63% reduction in acne volume after 7 days. These are specific, quantified outcomes that go beyond the "clearer skin over time" claims of most light therapy devices. Two Modes, Two Wavelengths, Two Problems Solved ACNE Mode (400-600nm) — for active breakouts. This shorter wavelength targets the upper skin layers where active acne lives. The light energy is absorbed by Propionibacterium acnes — the bacteria directly responsible for inflammatory acne. The absorption triggers a photochemical reaction that eliminates bacteria without antibiotics, reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance that makes topical and oral acne treatments less effective over time. Simultaneously, the light energy reduces inflammation, calms redness, and helps prevent the bacterial recolonisation that causes breakouts to recur in the same areas. ACNESCAR Mode (800-1200nm) — for post-acne scarring. This longer wavelength penetrates significantly deeper into the skin, reaching the dermal layer where scar tissue forms and sebaceous glands operate. At this depth, the light stimulates collagen production and cellular regeneration — the biological processes that rebuild skin texture and fade pigmentation. The deeper penetration also regulates sebaceous gland activity, reducing the excess oil production that contributes to future breakouts. This mode works on the structural damage that acne leaves behind: depressed scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Why Two Wavelengths Matter Single-wavelength acne devices force a compromise. Blue light (around 415nm) kills bacteria but doesn't reach scars. Red light (around 630nm) promotes healing but doesn't target bacteria effectively. The Acneaway eliminates this compromise by offering both ranges in separate, optimised modes. You use ACNE mode during active breakouts, then switch to ACNESCAR mode as lesions heal — treating the full acne lifecycle from inflammation to scarring in one device. Clinical Results Independent testing measured the following outcomes from consistent use: After 3 days: skin oil production reduced by 56.40%. This rapid reduction in sebum output addresses one of the root causes of acne — excess oil that clogs pores and feeds bacteria. After 7 days: acne bump height reduced by 52.00%, acne volume decreased by 63.11%, acne marks faded by 33.5%, and pore size reduced by 46.43%. These are measured reductions, not subjective assessments. How It Compares to Clinic Treatments Each session delivers the equivalent of 168 minutes of professional-grade light therapy — the same type of treatment that dermatology clinics charge £80-200 per session for. The concentrated energy output means shorter treatment times at home with targeted delivery to the acne site, rather than broad-area exposure that wastes energy on unaffected skin. Included Acne Treatment Serum The device is paired with a dedicated treatment serum formulated with four active ingredients designed to work synergistically with the light therapy: Papain Enzyme: A natural exfoliant that accelerates dead skin cell turnover and prevents melanin buildup — helping acne marks fade faster and preventing the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that makes acne scars visible long after the breakout has healed. Cranberry Extract: Regulates oil production at the sebaceous gland level, restoring the moisture-oil balance that acne disrupts. Helps refine pores and reduce blackhead formation. Feverfew Flower: A botanical anti-inflammatory rich in antioxidants that calms irritation and reduces sensitivity during treatment — making the device suitable for reactive and sensitive acne-prone skin. Bladderwrack Extract: A marine botanical that penetrates to deeper skin layers to strengthen the skin barrier and support the skin's natural repair mechanisms. Healthier barrier function means greater resistance to the environmental triggers that cause acne flares. Who This Is For The JOVS Acneaway is designed for anyone dealing with recurring acne, post-acne scarring, or both. It is particularly suited for oily and combination skin types where excess sebum production drives breakout cycles, hormonal acne that flares cyclically and leaves persistent marks, stress-related breakouts in adults who have outgrown teenage acne but still experience flares, and sensitive skin that cannot tolerate aggressive topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide or prescription retinoids. It is not a replacement for dermatological treatment of severe cystic acne, but for mild to moderate acne and the scarring it produces, it delivers clinical-grade intervention from home. How to Use Cleanse skin thoroughly. Apply the included treatment serum to the affected area. Select ACNE mode for active breakouts or ACNESCAR mode for post-acne scarring and pigmentation. Hold the device against the treatment area and allow the light therapy to deliver for the recommended session duration. Use consistently — the clinical results above were achieved through daily use over 3-7 days. Where It Sits in the JOVS Range JOVS 4D Laser Light Therapy Mask (£589.95) — full-face 4-wavelength collagen and pigmentation treatment JOVS Acneaway — targeted dual-mode acne and scar treatment The 4D Mask treats the entire face for anti-ageing and radiance. The Acneaway targets specific acne zones with concentrated energy for breakout control and scar repair. They complement each other — the 4D Mask for overall skin health, the Acneaway for active problem areas. Key Specifications Treatment modes: 2 (ACNE + ACNESCAR) Wavelength range: 400-600nm (antibacterial) + 800-1200nm (deep repair) Clinical results: 56% oil reduction (3 days), 63% volume reduction (7 days) Equivalent therapy: 168 minutes professional light therapy per session Included: Device + acne treatment serum Suitable for: Oily, combination, hormonal, stress-related, and sensitive acne-prone skin Brand: JOVS Important Safety Information Do not use directly over open wounds or severely inflamed cystic lesions.
