Acne Treatments and Acne Scar Removal

Acne breakouts are caused by a variety of environmental, gene, and age factors, even stress!

Acne (whiteheads and blackheads) are caused by an infection of the skin when p.acne bacteria and oil are trapped below the skin surface.

Acne treatment and acne scar removal include lasers, chemical peels and physician grade topical skin care products. Acne removal laser treatments are relatively painless, have no down time, and are should only be administered by experienced medical staff.

Lasers are first used for acne kill p.acne bacteria that cause active acne lesions. In the second phase, the sebaceous (oil-producing) glands are shrunk. This causes the glands to produce less oil, preventing future acne outbreaks. Laser acne treatments usually last between fifteen minutes and one hour. There is no pain or down time for this procedure.

Acne scar removal is treated in much the same way as fine line and wrinkle removal. Lasers promote new collagen growth, filling scars from the inside out. Brown and red discoloration left from acne scars are removed using treatments similar to the removal of pigmented lesions and vascular lesions.
