Acne Laser Treatments use beams of coherent light, commonly known as lasers, to eliminate damaged skin cells. This technique has proven effective even for difficult-to-treat acne, with many who receive this treatment experiencing clearer skin. More importantly, the treatment stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, producing new healthy skin in place of the damaged cells.

Symptoms Addressed by Acne Laser Treatment

  • Active acne breakouts
  • Redness and inflammation associated with acne
  • Acne scars and dark spots
  • Oily skin prone to acne
  • Enlarged pores

Why Acne Laser Treatment is Needed

Acne Laser Treatment is a vital option for those seeking an alternative to traditional acne therapies. It’s particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded to topical or oral treatments. This technology targets the root causes of acne, offering long-term improvements in skin health and appearance.

How Acne Laser Treatment Creates Healthier Skin

Acne laser treatments use a special laser system that directly targets the source of acne with light energy. This approach can eliminate current acne breakouts, reduce the frequency of future acne, and can improve skin tone by balancing it. The laser light reaches through the skin to target the tissues responsible for regulating sebum production. This leads to less oil being generated by the skin, addressing one of the underlying causes of severe acne.

  • How Quickly Will I See Results From Acne Laser Treatment? – There are notable results that begin immediately after treatment. The skin will begin producing less oil due to the reduced presence of sebum-producing tissues. The benefits of your treatment will become even more apparent over the months following your last session.
  • Are Acne Laser Treatments Painful? – The device used to treat your acne with light energy is designed to avoid damaging the skin. Most patients describe the experience as a subtle snapping sensation.
  • Why Is Acne Laser Treatment So Effective? – Acne laser treatments directly address the underlying cause of acne, excess sebum production. By reducing the amount of oil your skin produces, the risk of dead skin cells clogging your pores is sharply reduced. Without the pores becoming clogged, acne outbreaks don’t happen. While similar results can often be achieved with acne creams, the results from acne laser treatments are permanent.
  • Is Acne Laser Treatment Right For Me? – Acne laser treatments are often a perfect solution for those seeking to avoid medication-based approaches to treating acne. These medications and creams often have unpleasant side effects or can be harsh on the skin. Acne laser treatments are a quick, painless, permanent solution to the acne problems many have struggled with for a lifetime. Even better, it’s appropriate for almost any skin tone, thanks to advancements in laser technology.

Treatment Process

A unique laser instrument is used to target the sebum-producing tissues that lay beneath the skin. The first step of the procedure involves preparing the treatment site by cleaning and sterilizing it. Over approximately 30 minutes, Mara Gomez, APRN, will target the problem area, eliminating the sebum-producing tissues.
