Active Acne

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to make acne a thing of the past, and face the future with clear, bright and smooth skin? Acne is an inflammatory illness of the skin caused by bacteria. Lasers can’t cure acne, but can make a big difference, especially when nothing else has worked. The energy based treatment choices, such as IPL, Gentle YAG, CoolBreeze and Photodynamic Therapy can shrink sebaceous glands, stimulate the growth of new collagen, shed congested pores and target and destroy acne-causing bacteria.

Acne Scarring

We know that bad acne scarring can cause extensive emotional distress. Both your skin and your self-confidence can be improved dramatically with a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Treating acne scarring is all about stimulating collagen building to heal the skin from within. Depending on the severity of your scars and depth of scarring, a treatment plan that is best for you would be chosen.  For more surface scarring the laser energies need to be in the upper and mid layers of the skin, PicoSure FOCUS treatments are a  great choice and are often used in combination with CoolBreeze,  For more textural porous scarring Fraxel treatments may be best chosen for you. Deeper scarring needs greater depth of collagen building. Our GENIUS, or Fractional Carbon Dioxide laser resurfacing, may be your best treatment choice.  Ask us how injecting your own Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) cells can play a role in greater healing of your scars.  Subcision, TCA Cross, and as well as Bellafill injection can all play a part in your treatment program.

Our expertise in regenerative medicine will get you on a path to smoother, healthier skin.
