Candidates for Acne Treatment

Patients may consider professional treatment for acne or acne scarring if they suffer from concerns such as severe acne, cystic acne, and acne scarring that have not responded to at-home remedies. The specific treatments chosen will depend on factors that include your skin type and the severity of your acne.

Acne and Acne Scar Treatment

Your acne treatment may include a series of facials, advanced light therapies, and medications. These therapies are effective at targeting causes of acne like bacteria, excess oil production, hyperkeratosis (excess growth of skin cells), and inflammation. Additionally, these procedures can address scarring by stimulating the body’s natural healing process, triggering cellular renewal and collagen production.

Fotona for Acne Treatment

Fotona can be used to treat both active acne and acne scarring. The powerful Nd:YAG laser penetrates the skin to address overactive oil glands, which can reduce the severity of inflammation. The Er:YAG laser can be used to resurface the skin and encourage collagen production, which can help improve the appearance of acne scars.

BLU-U® Light Therapy

BLU-U® light therapy is a treatment that uses a photosensitive drug and a light source to activate it. Exposure of the photosensitive drug to the light produces by-products that target the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts.

Professional Grade Facials

While results may vary, clinical studies have shown that professional facials are very effective at targeting the conditions that cause breakouts. Other treatments, such as microdermabrasion or a chemical peel, can also prevent breakouts and help eliminate acne by clearing away dead skin cells and other debris notorious for clogging pores and causing breakouts.

Additionally, acne facials use specialized ingredients that slow down the production of the oil in your skin. Facials may also help treat scarring by triggering collagen production and cellular renewal.

Professional Acne Treatment FAQ

While results may vary, clinical studies have shown that professional grade facials are very effective at targeting the conditions that cause breakouts, such as the over production of sebum (oil,) the presence of bacteria, inflammation, and the overproduction of skin cells. Scientific evidence demonstrates that facials, such as microdermabrasion or a chemical peel can prevent breakouts and help get rid of acne by:

Exfoliating the skin’s surface of dead skin cells and other debris notorious for clogging pores and causing breakouts.
Additionally, acne facials are infused with specialized ingredients that slow down the production of the oil in your skin.
Facials can also treat acne from the inside out by triggering collagen production and cellular renewal.

Professional Acne treatment using cosmetic lasers treat acne in numerous ways.

One common culprit of acne breakouts is bacteria clogged pores and hair follicles. Clinical studies have shown that lasers can penetrate clogged pores and follicles to target and destroy the bacteria that triggers the inflammation attributed to acne breakouts.
By heating and shrinking the sebaceous gland, laser therapies can also stem the overproduction of sebum, the skin’s oil that commonly causes acne.

Pigmented acne scars describe the dark or purple discoloration that is often caused by cystic acne. Pigmented scars can be successfully treated with specific light therapies such as IPL lasers (intense pulse light therapy) and BBL lasers (broad band light therapy.) While results and treatment duration varies per client, typically a series of 3-5 treatments is generally effective in diminishing the dark or purple discoloration.

Laser acne treatments are especially effective at diminishing the appearance of acne scars. The ice pick scars or pitted scars that result from severe acne are treated with ablative laser treatments.
