Active Acne Laser Treatment Options
How Do Our Active Acne Treatments Work?
Our Active Acne treatment may involve one or a combination of the following three procedures.
RF Microneedling
This treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and helping to reduce the appearance of acne scars. The RF energy also targets the deeper layers of the skin to improve overall skin tone and texture. We notice a reduction of active acne in most patients for 6 months post treatment. This treatment is recommended as a package of 3 treatments spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart.
Sciton Forever Clear BBL
This light-based treatment targets acne-causing bacteria deep within the skin, reducing active breakouts and inflammation. It also helps to regulate oil production, which can lead to fewer future breakouts. This treatment is recommended as a package of 5 treatments spaced 1 week apart, then 1 treatment monthly as needed to maintain.
ClearSilk
ClearSilk uses gentle laser energy to reduce redness and inflammation and improve the overall appearance of the skin. This helps to create a smoother, more even complexion. This can be used as a stand alone treatment or combined with the BBL Forever Clear.
