Aesthera Corporation has developed a new laser technology to help in the treatment of acne. Clinical studies have proved the efficacy of this therapy in the treatment of stubborn acne lesions that had not responded to oral medications, topical creams and traditional lasers. This is a deep pore laser therapy powered by the Photopneumatic Technology. It is a combination of pneumatic energy (vacuum) and laser light. It has the ability to destroy bacteria that causes acne. It is highly effective in the treatment of comedonal and pustular acne. It can also successfully treat mild to moderate, inflammatory acne and acne vulgaris. It does not have side effects associated to laser treatments.

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.

Acne is as much about how you feel as how you look. Over the years, the research methods and medical treatments may have changed, but the answers to the question “how does your acne make you feel?” have remained alarmingly constant: Ugly. Angry. Dirty. Depressed. These answers are consistent across gender lines, age barriers and national borders. Acne can cause profound emotional suffering. Of course, if you live with acne, this isn’t news — but it may be helpful to know you’re not alone.
Almost 75% of teenagers and young adults suffer from acne which can have a profound negative impact on their personality. Under such social pressure, a skin disorder like acne can and does effect people’s psychological well-being, self perception and quality of life. Ironically enough, what most people don’t know is that acne is 100% treatable.

For many years, it was assumed that the older patients did not suffer the psychological trauma of acne as they adjusted with the condition more easily than the teenage patients, accepting the physical manifestation of acne as part of their life and not as some social stigma. But, now it’s emerging that acne not only scars the adult skin more deeply, it effects the psyche of the adult patient equally as it does a teenager.

Many acne sufferers go into depression because of lower self esteem. They tend to withdraw from social circles and isolate themselves from society. They give into feelings of embarrassment and a negative self image. This may lead to frustration, anger and deep depression. These negative psychological symptoms stop the patients from pursuing life’s opportunities, not only socially but also in work place.

How people face the psychological trauma of having acne differs from person to person. Still, there are a lot of common psychological symptoms which these people share. If teenagers become prone to suppressed anger and rebelliousness, then adult sufferers become more withdrawn in themselves. Acne scarring leads people to lose self esteem and self confidence. They become more and more obsessed with their skin and outer appearance, sometimes overdoing make-up and dressing up to distract attention from their skin disorder. They withdraw from friends and social circle and have a poor body posture.

If acne is significantly affecting your life, get help right away. Treatment itself can help bring about a more positive attitude, even if you’ve struggled with acne for years. Many people experience a significant improvement of self-esteem and quality of life with the improvement of acne.
Seek out a support system. Having a compassionate person, or group of people, who understand what you are going through can help dispel feelings of isolation and hopelessness that are common to acne sufferers.

Acne does not mean that your life has ended. With advances in modern medical science, it is treatable. Go ahead! Be the beautiful person that you are!! It’s not how you look but how you feel that matters! Think beautiful!!
