Effective Acne Treatment Solutions
The most popular topical acne treatments we suggest to use are benzoyl peroxide and adapalene or both. Either one is effective and usually well tolerated and we have sometimes found that they can be more effective when combined Other acne-fighting products can be suggested like salicylic acid or sulfur. These combinations can help target different causes of acne, such as excess oil production, clogged pores, and inflammation. During your consultation our skin specialists will make it a priority to understand your skin, consider your skin type and any sensitivities you may have. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to treating acne, so stick to your skincare routine and give it time to show results.
Chemical peels
work by exfoliating the top layers of the skin, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. This process can help to fade acne scars over time and improve skin texture. With regular treatments and proper skincare regimen, you can achieve smoother, clearer skin and reduce the visible signs of scarring. Remember to always follow post-treatment care instructions and protect your skin from sun exposure to maximize the benefits of chemical peels.
Blue LED light
is beneficial for acne-prone skin as it can combat acne-causing bacteria and reduce oil production in oily skin. Additionally, blue light has the ability to eliminate acne-causing bacteria like Cutibacterium acnes. Typically, a combination of blue and red light is employed to combat acne effectively; with blue light addressing C. acnes and red light targeting inflammation and redness. This combination of blue and red LED lights creates a powerful duo in the fight against acne. While blue light works on eliminating the acne-causing bacteria, red light steps in to soothe inflammation and reduce redness, leaving your skin looking more clear and spot free. Incorporating this dual light therapy into your treatment plan can be a game-changer. The science behind these lights is fascinating, offering a non-invasive and effective solution for achieving a clear and more smooth complexion.
How does Cutera Excel V 1064 work?
This treatment is an effective and long-term solution for clearing acne by targeting the overactive sebaceous glands. This is a very critical treatment if your skin is over producing oil that is blocking your pores, in turn causing your inflammatory breakouts. Cutera Excel V 1064 works by utilizing advanced laser technology to target and treat the overactive sebaceous glands responsible for producing excess oil. By directing the laser energy towards these glands, the treatment helps to regulate oil production and prevent pores from becoming clogged. This process ultimately reduces acne breakouts and promotes clearer, healthier skin over the long term. With its proven effectiveness, Cutera Excel V 1064 offers a highly reliable solution for individuals looking to address active acne and achieve clearer, more balanced skin.
Fraxel laser skin resurfacing
is the most popular choice for those looking to remove and correct the lingering scars from acne. This advanced treatment works by targeting specific areas of the skin with microscopic laser beams that create columns, stimulating the body's natural healing process and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells and rebuilding the depression (scar) in the skin. The most powerful benefit of the Fraxel laser treatment is its ability to correct the skins texture, smoothing out uneven skin. Additionally, Fraxel laser can help correct the appearance of hyperpigmentation and redness left from inflammatory acne. It generally will take a minimum of 3-6 Fraxel laser treatments to create flawless looking skin.
Injection treatments
are effective for acute nodules, whereby these painful nodules get injected directly, one by one. The injections contain a small amount of a steroid, such as triamcinolone (Kenalog), a powerful anti-inflammatory. Cysts and nodules may take weeks to resolve on their own. A steroid injection can reduce the swelling, redness and pain in a few hours! This treatment option is often recommended for stubborn or painful acne lesions that do not respond well to other medications or therapies. The injection works by quickly targeting the inflammation within the cyst or nodule, providing relief and promoting faster healing. Remember to follow post-injection care instructions provided by our skin specialists to optimize the results and minimize any potential side effects.
