Active Acne Treatment

Cools active acne inflammation and destroys bacteria to accelerate clear skin.

This treatment utilizes deep-penetrating Nd:YAG laser light to target active acne lesions. The thermal energy selectively destroys overactive sebaceous (oil) glands and kills acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes) deep within the pores. Additionally, it stimulates rapid tissue healing to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory scarring.

TREATMENT DURATION

20-25 Mins

DOWN TIME

Minimal (1–2 days of mild pinkness; potential minor dryness)

RECOMMENDED SERIES

4 to 6 sessions, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A warm, rapid snapping sensation on the skin surface (similar to a tiny rubber band snap). Continuous cooling air is applied to the treatment zone to ensure comfort.

PRE-TREATMENT

Stop using prescription topical retinoids, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide 5 days prior.


Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for 2 weeks.

AFTER CARE

Cleanse with an ultra-gentle, non-stripping facial wash.


Apply a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer and a broad-spectrum mineral SPF 50 daily.


Avoid squeezing, picking, or scratching active blemishes.
