Laser Acne Treatment

Best Laser Treatment for Acne Near You

Most people who suffer from acne often wonder “what is the best treatment for acne?” The answer is typically not the same for everyone. It’s important to treat the underlying cause for the acne above everything else, which is not the same for everyone.

That said, there are some general tips we give patients for how to get rid of acne:

• Keep your skin clean by washing it 1 to 2 times a day
• Don’t over-wash your skin, acne thrives on dryness, which over-washing contributes to
• Unclog pores and don’t use pore-clogging products
• Don’t pick at pimples (this can cause acne scarring)
• Avoid touching your face

Of course, none of the above will completely get rid of certain types of acne including hormonal and cystic acne. For more serious acne problems, consult an experience acne dermatologist near you for a personalized acne treatment plan, which sometimes can include Accutane acne treatment.

Spectra Carbon Laser Peel aka “Hollywood Peel”

Now available in Hollywood, Florida, this peel is perfect for our patients who want a quick skin rejuvenation treatment with essentially no peeling or downtime. The end result is glowing, radiant skin.

How Does the Carbon Laser Treatment for Acne Scars Work?

A black carbon solution is first applied to the face and left to dry for about ten minutes. Next, a non-ablative laser applies heat as the carbon particles penetrate and exfoliate the skin. Excess sebum and a superficial layer of skin are removed, stimulating the growth of healthy collagen in its place.

The procedure takes no longer than thirty minutes – and there’s no prep or downtime involved. As with any laser treatment, you should avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen immediately after treatment – but that’s it.

When Will I See Results?

Most patients see immediate results in skin appearance and their acne starts improving within days. Active acne is reduced, and skin looks refreshed and glowing. Patients look and feel rejuvenated. Maximum results require 2 or 3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
