USING LASER THERAPIES FOR ACNE AND ACNE SCARRING
Laser therapies are a popular treatment option for acne and acne scarring. There are different types of laser therapies, and each works slightly differently. Some laser therapies can help to kill the bacteria that cause acne, while others can help to reduce inflammation and redness.
- Carbon Laser Facial: The combination of clean bamboo oil and our laser which targets the acne-producing bacteria is a powerful combination to get active acne under control. This zero downtime treatment can even be done on your lunch break!
- Pulsed light: One of the most common laser therapies for acne is pulsed light therapy. This therapy uses pulses of light to destroy the bacteria that cause acne. Pulsed light therapy can be done in a doctor’s office or spa.
- Fractional laser: Another type of laser therapy is called fractional laser treatment. This therapy uses tiny beams of light to damage the top layer of skin, which helps improve the appearance of scars. We use our unique erbium fractional laser to resurface acne scarring. Fractional laser treatments can be done in a doctor’s office or spa.
- CO2 laser: A CO2 laser is a more powerful type of laser that can treat deeper scars. It has significant downtime with swelling and redness. This modality is often added to plastic surgery procedures under anesthesia.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does an acne laser facial work?
Great question! Acne laser facials use precise light beams to target and reduce acne-causing bacteria while promoting skin healing. It is like giving your skin a superpower boost that fights off breakouts and looks its best while ensuring the skin is protected from damage. Working with a trained and skilled provider at Cassie Lane Aesthetics is the best way to ensure this treatment is done correctly while reducing any risks or potential problems.
Does it hurt?
Not really. Most patients describe the feeling as a warm, tingly sensation or a light snap, like a tiny rubber band. It’s more surprising than painful, and it’s over before you know it! Plus, the glowing finished results are worth it!
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions depends on your skin type and goals. Some of our patients notice improvements after just one or two sessions, but typically, we recommend doing a series of four sessions, spaced one week apart, for best results!
Is there any downtime afterward?
One of the many advantages of our laser facials for acne is minimal downtime! You might notice some slight redness or sensitivity, kind of like a mild sunburn, but it usually fades within a day. Most people can go back to their normal routine right away—just don’t forget to wear sunscreen to protect your skin after treatment!
Can anyone get an acne laser facial?
The joy of our acne facials is that practically anyone with acne can benefit from them! Laser facials are safe for most skin types, but it’s always a good idea to check with a skin expert like Cassie Lane and her dedicated team of providers first. If you are pregnant or have certain medical conditions, this group can help guide you to the best options.
Are the results permanent?
While our laser facials do a fantastic job of reducing acne and improving skin texture, maintenance is key. Think of it like a gym for your skin—you will need occasional touch-ups and a good skincare routine to keep the glow strong!
