Abstract
An effective treatment method for acnes is meaningful for both doctors and patients. This paper demonstrated a new concept of acne treatment based on Bio-heat Transfer Theory. An alternative heating treatment system is developed to control the contact heating degree in a precise way. The preliminary biomedical experiments were performed, and further experiments-under more strict condition are still ongoing expecting clear evidence for pre-clinical trials.
