Acne Treatment
We will want to see you every two weeks for an acne treatment. It typically takes about six to eight services over a 3 to 4-month period of time to get you mostly to completely clear. Your Acne Specialist will:
-
assess what type of treatment your skin needs when you come in.
-
they will also assess how your home care regimen will be adjusted so that your skin does not over-adapt and stop responding.
-
perform an acne treatment with extractions, high-frequency treatment & 30 minutes of LED light therapy*
LED blue light therapy helps to kill the acne causing bacteria, reduce inflammation and provide a general rejuvenation effect on the skin. Usually, in the case of inflamed acne, topical products will bring down inflammation rather quickly. However, there are times when the skin needs a little more help in bringing down inflammation. This is where LED can help.
The combination of blue, red and infrared lights in our Celluma panels get down to the core of the acne causing bacteria. The red lights help to reduce inflammation while at the same time, the blue lights help to kill the acne causing bacteria.
This phenomenal add on will enhance your current acne treatment, and help to soothe the skin after receiving extractions.

After your acne is under control, you will simply need to maintain your home care products to keep clear. With an occasional visit once every 3-4 months.

We complement our Acne Treatment Program with SkinPen from Bellus Medical to treat facial acne scars. SkinPen is the only Class II, FDA cleared microneedling device legally marketed in the U.S.
We know what it takes to get & keep your skin clear and we know how to take care of troubled skin.
