Laser Acne Treatment
What Causes Acne?
Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This leads to inflammation, redness, and breakouts. Several factors contribute to acne, including:
- Overactive Sebaceous Glands – Excess oil production clogs pores, leading to breakouts.
- Bacteria (P. acnes) – Triggers inflammation, worsening acne lesions.
- Hormonal Imbalances – Fluctuations in hormones increase oil production.
- Genetics – A family history of acne can increase susceptibility.
- Diet & Lifestyle – High-glycemic diets and stress may worsen acne.
Types of Acne We Treat
Acne comes in different forms, each requiring specific treatments. Our Nd:YAG laser technology effectively treats:
- Whiteheads & Blackheads (Comedonal Acne) – Caused by clogged pores and excess oil.
- Papules & Pustules – Inflamed, red pimples that contain pus.
- Nodular & Cystic Acne – Deep, painful lumps under the skin that can lead to scarring.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Dark spots left behind by acne.
- Red Acne Scars & Blemishes – Chronic redness from past breakouts.
2D Laser Acne Treatment – Dual Approach for Maximum Results
Our 2D Laser Acne Procedure combines two non-invasive Nd:YAG laser treatments to treat moderate to severe acne effectively.
Step 1: Deep Penetrating Laser Treatment
The first laser treatment targets overactive sebaceous (oil) glands, reducing oil production and acne breakouts.
The Nd:YAG laser energy penetrates deep into the skin, killing acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation.
Results in a noticeable decrease in breakouts and improved skin clarity.
Step 2: Surface Refinement & Redness Reduction
The second laser treatment focuses on refining the skin’s surface.
Shrinks enlarged pores, clears inflamed acne lesions, and fades red acne scars.
Helps smooth out chronic blemishes and leaves skin looking more even-toned.
Completely painless with no downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately.
Note: This dual-action treatment ensures both active acne and residual scars are treated for long-term skin improvement.
Benefits of Nd:YAG Laser Acne Treatment
Reduces Active Acne – Targets oil glands to prevent new breakouts.
Shrinks Enlarged Pores – Creates a smoother, more refined complexion.
Clears Acne Scars & Redness – Improves skin tone & texture.
Kills Acne-Causing Bacteria – Helps eliminate future breakouts.
Non-Invasive & Painless – Comfortable treatment with zero downtime.
Safe for All Skin Types – Effective on light to dark skin tones.
How Does Nd:YAG Laser Acne Treatment Work?
The Nd:YAG laser uses a 1064 nm wavelength to penetrate deep into the skin, without damaging the surface.
Step 1: Consultation – We analyze your skin type and acne condition to create a personalized treatment plan.
Step 2: Treatment Begins – The laser delivers controlled heat energy into the skin, reducing inflammation, killing bacteria, and shrinking oil glands.
Step 3: Scar Refinement – A second laser pass helps fade post-acne redness and improve skin texture.
Step 4: Recovery & Results – Most patients experience clearer skin within weeks, with ongoing collagen production improving skin over time.
Note: For best results, a series of 3–6 sessions is recommended, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.
