ACNE LASER TREATMENT
Long term treatment of acne
Acne Laser Treatment
Acne is a common, chronic inflammatory condition that can leave permanent scarring and hyperpigmentation. Main contributing factors are (1) increased sebum production and (2) skin bacteria. Other contributing factors are diet, hormonal variability, injury and mechanical trauma and metabolic disorders.
LASER TREATMENT
Our Nd:YAG laser reduces inflammation, decreases sebaceous gland function, and kills bacteria the major contributing causes of acne.
We recommend four (4) treatments scheduled every other week.

- 30 days prior to treatment discontinue use of Acutane.
