Acne treatments require specific lasers which target the bacteria that are infecting follicles, eliminating the infection without the need for antibiotics or medications like Accutane. A specialized BlueLight can also be used for this purpose. With the infection now in retreat, we use 1 or 2 additional lasers to shut down the inflammation that often accompanies acne and cystic acne. This will reduce swelling and remove redness and pigmentation.
In many cases, acne treatments are integrated with a package of silk peels (dermal infusion facials) administered by our certified Medical Aestheticians. The Dermal Infusion procedure infuses into your dermis a natural substance called Salicylic acid, which is clinically proven to further reduce acne and cystic acne breakouts. In this procedure, a precise amount of the dead layer of your skin (Stratum Corneum) is also removed, which promotes further healing and rejuvenation of your skin to its silky smooth radiant state. In addition, the Medical Aesthetician will customize an anti-acne daily skincare regimen for continued acne treatment maintenance.
At your complimentary consultation, our patient educators will advise you on the acne treatment and/or cystic acne treatment you will be receiving and give you a detailed step-by-step outline of the procedure. You will also be advised of the proper pre and post-treatment skincare instructions.
After your acne treatment, expect to have some degree of redness, ranging from a mild sunburn pink to a deep red (depending on your skin type and skin sensitivity). Patients are photo-sensitive to sunlight for up to 48 hours following treatment. During this time it is advisable to stay indoors and out of direct or indirect sunlight. Skin peeling and crusting is expected for several days after the acne treatment. During the first week, a strict skincare regimen must be adhered to for proper healing and optimal results.
