Best Treatments For Acne and Rosacea-Prone Skin
Calm. Heal. Renew.
A biology-first approach to inflammatory and sensitive skin.
Acne and rosacea-prone skin share more than visible symptoms – They reflect a skin environment under sustained biological pressure. An environment where inflammation, barrier disruption, microbiome imbalance, vascular reactivity, and altered cellular signaling interact over time.
At SkinMed Solutions, we approach these conditions not as isolated diagnoses, but as chronic skin states that require calm, precision, and biological respect.
When Skin is Constantly “On Alert”
Both acne and rosacea involve a skin micro-environment that is easily destabilised:
- Heightened inflammatory signalling
- Impaired barrier function and increased skin sensitivity
- Altered sebaceous and vascular responses
- Reduced tolerance to aggressive or overly stimulating treatments, including certain actives and procedures (eg retinoinds, acids, makeup)
This is why conventional “stronger” interventions often lead to short-term improvement followed by relapse or worsening sensitivity – even for pharmaceutical treatments.
Skin Quality and Skin Appearance: Why the Difference Matters More Than Ever
Most people – including many professionals – talk about skin quality and skin appearance as if they were the same thing. They are not. Skin appearance describes what we can see
Inflammation as a Common Denominator in Skin Conditions
Inflammation is often understood as something visible: redness, swelling, pustules, heat, or discomfort. In the skin, however, inflammation frequently operates below the threshold of obvious symptoms.
Technologies Commonly Used
At SkinMed Solutions and InnoDerma Institute, we have selected a number of technologies such as Kleresca, Lumixa, BioLED, and Celluma allowing us to work with the skin rather than against it – Each technology is evaluated not only on outcomes, but on tolerance, repeatability, and long-term skin behaviour..
Below, you will find our evidence-based technologies frequently used as part of structured acne and rosacea care. These technologies are used daily at our research clinic, InnoDerma Institute, and include:
BioPhotonic FLE Treatment
Kleresca Acne Treatment
Modulating inflammation at the cellular level
Biophotonic therapy is designed to interact with the skin’s natural biological processes rather than override them. By using controlled Fluorescent light energy (FLE) to stimulate cellular communication, this approach helps reduce chronic inflammatory signalling, support collagen remodelling relevant for eg acne scarring and supports a more balanced skin response.
Indicated for All Acne Types
Medical approved for all acne types and severity and clinical documented. This means working with inflammation instead of provoking it – encouraging repair, improving tolerance, and calming reactive skin states without thermal stress or aggressive intervention.
Whom Performs Kleresca Acne Treatment
Kleresca is available in select clinics, whom have been certified in the use of the BioPhotonic FLE technology for treatment of acne and rosacea.

BioPhotonic FLE Treatment
Kleresca Rosacea Treatment
Working on both redness and stinging/burning sensations
Biophotonic FLE therapy for rosacea focuses on improving vascular function, reducing skin stress, and normalising inflammatory responses. Clinically, this is associated with reduced redness, burning sensations, and itching.
In-clinic treatment with clinically observed improvement with minimal downtime
Indicated for All Rosacea Types
Medical approved for all rosacea types and severity and clinical documented. This means working on both inflammation, the vasculature and supporting the buildup of a new skin barrier
Whom Performs Kleresca Rosacea Treatment
Kleresca is available in select clinics, whom have been certified in the use of the BioPhotonic FLE technology for treatment of acne and rosacea.

In-clinic LED Light Therapy
Advanced BioLED Light Therapy
Soothing stimulation of the skin
Inflammatory skin conditions are rarely confined to a single symptom. Barrier disruption, microbiome imbalance, vascular reactivity, and immune signalling often interact and reinforce each other. Preparing the skin prior to treatments or improving recovery by light therapy can have significant synergistic effect towards improving skin tolerance and capacity for treatments.
Versatile alone or in combinations
BioLED Light Therapy is a modulatory and combinatoric technology that we use in conjunction with other treatments to reduce stress, stimulate the skin and support a regenerative response within the skin’s biological framework – Ideal to be used with DermaPen Microneedling, Lumixa FLE treatments and hair therapies.
Whom Performs BioLED LED Light Therapy
BioLED is available to a larger range of clinics, including cosmetologists, beauty clinics but also professional medical clinics.
Home-Based & In-Clinic LED Light Therapy
CELLUMA LED Therapy
Medical Grade LED Therapy for Homes and Clinics
Celluma Advanced LED Therapy is designed for both in-clinic and home-based use, allowing continuity of care in inflammatory and sensitive skin conditions. It is medical approved for Acne, Aging, Wound healing, Hairloss, Body contouring and Pain management
Celluma Features a flexible panel allowing the exact wavelengths to stimulate the skin as precise as possible
How it works
Low-energy LED photobiomodulation focuses on supporting cellular energy
production and tissue recovery while respecting the sensitivity threshold of
inflamed or reactive skin. Rather than driving rapid change, it helps create
the conditions required for gradual and sustainable improvement.
Whom Performs CELLUMA LED Therapy
Celluma is both for home treatment, contiuous treatment in between in-clinic treatments but also used in professional clinics

How These Treatments Work Together
A structured approach, not isolated treatments
In inflammatory and sensitive skin, outcomes depend not only on the chosen technology, but on sequencing, combination, and biological readiness.
Our approach often combines biophotonic stimulation, supportive LED therapy, and barrier-focused care to reduce clinical symptom burden of the conditions, reduce flare frequency, improve tolerance, and support long-term skin stability.

FAQ
Here a curated list of some of the most common questions – do not hesitate to contact us for further information or questions that you may have
Acne and rosacea are distinct conditions, but they share underlying biological features such as inflammation, barrier dysfunction, and altered skin reactivity. Acne is often driven by sebaceous activity and follicular inflammation, while rosacea is more closely linked to vascular instability and inflammatory responses. Effective care considers both the differences and the shared inflammatory environment of the skin.
Yes. When designed and applied correctly, non-thermal, low-energy light therapies can be used for both acne- and rosacea-prone skin. The key is biological intent, dosing, and treatment sequencing. Light-based approaches are often used to modulate inflammation, support cellular repair, and improve skin tolerance rather than to provoke aggressive change.
The specific Fluorescent Light Energy (FLE) utilized by Kleresca is highly clinical validated through numerous clinical trials
The technologies described on this page are selected specifically for sensitive and reactive skin types. Treatments are chosen based on tolerance, repeatability, and long-term skin behaviour. This makes them particularly relevant for patients who experience flare-ups, irritation, or relapse after more aggressive interventions. They can be used in almost all patients with minimal downtime and sideeffect. During our education or consultations you can learn more about what suits you as a patient, or the patient clientelle of the clinic
Yes. The technologies used and discussed are medically approved and supported by clinical documentation. At InnoDerma Institute, treatments are used daily in clinical practice, providing continuous real-world insight into outcomes, tolerance, and treatment strategies.
In sensitive skin and inflammatory skin conditions, outcomes depend not only on individual technologies but on how they are combined and sequenced. Treatments may be used to prepare the skin, support recovery, or maintain stability over time. A structured approach often leads to better tolerance, fewer flares, and more sustainable improvement.
The treatments here are recognized world-wide, with signifiant presence in many countris. SkinMed Solutions specifically works with selected clinics across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Switzerland that apply evidence-based technologies and structured treatment approaches. Patients may also seek care directly at InnoDerma Institute, which serves as a research and reference clinic.
