Acne

The Science of Flaw Correction

Perfect skin just isn’t a reality for most of us, but for those of us who were either born with imperfections or developed them later in life, even having normal skin might seem like an unattainable dream. While we can’t work miracles, our MagnifaSkin clinicians can greatly reduce, or sometimes even completely erase the appearance of these flaws. Contact us today for a free consultation and take the first step to having the appearance you deserve.

Acne Treatment

At MagnifaSkin MedSpa we can also treat acne itself, reducing the frequency and severity of acne. Acne is the result of blocked pores by excessive output from the sebaceous glands. The oils from these glands mix with tiny dirt particles in our pores and cause blockage. The body sees this as an infection and responds by sending white blood cells to the area. The result is a pimple as the pore fills with pus which is the body’s way of trying to ‘force’ the infection out. By treating your skin with Non-Ablative laser therapy we can suppress the output of the sebaceous glands, resulting in less oil on the skin, and thus fewer, and less severe, acne pimples. This not only results in clearer skin, but less likelihood of scarring.

In some cases, dramatic results can be achieved, although the skin’s response will vary from person to person. Contact us for a free consultation. We have other acne treatments available as well.

Non-ablative laser therapy can be an effective treatment for Acne and many other skin conditions. By causing temporary damage below the surface, your body is stimulated to replace the damaged tissue with new, healthy tissue. With successive treatments, the discolored or scarred skin is gradually replaced with new, unmarred skin, resulting in the complete erasure of the flaw in some cases, and dramatically reducing the appearance of it in most.

NeoClear

NeoClear by Aerolase uses 650-microsecond laser technology to offer a new approach for highly effective, long-term effects with low recurrence rates for treating active acne including problematic conditions, adult acne and acne on the torso. LightPod lasers’ light-based therapy offers an effective, alternative treatment approach for all acne patients of any age or skin type, but also for patients who have not responded to traditional therapies and for those patients who either cannot take or who do not want to take oral medications including isotretinoin.

The treatment leaves your skin looking clear, healthy and amazingly radiant.

NeoClear by Aerolase is a quick, 2-step treatment:

STEP 1

The entire affected area will be treated with laser light in order to eliminate P. acnes bacteria on the skin and help control possible future breakouts, while minimizing pores and skin tone & texture.

STEP 2

Any current breakout will be addressed by applying laser energy directly on each visible acne lesion to reduce inflammation and promote quicker clearance.

AFTER CARE

An at home skin care regimen including face wash should be followed as proposed by your treatment provider. Once your acne is cleared and controlled you may need to follow-up with treatments if the condition returns. This will vary from person to person and certain patients will have longer periods of clearance than others.

Acne Treatment with the Aerolase LightPod Neo

All laser treatments at MagnifaSkin MedSpa are delivered with the revolutionary new Aerolase® LightPod Neo® medical laser. Delivering light pulses 30 – 50 times faster than other lasers, the Neo provides virtually pain free treatment. In fact many patients report feeling nothing at all other than a slight warming sensation. Other lasers, which deliver higher energy pulses of light at much longer intervals, result in the sensation of having a rubber band snapped against your skin. This is due to the large amount of energy being delivered with each pulse. Because the Neo reduces the amount of energy delivered with each pulse while greatly increasing the number of pulses, energy delivery is ‘smoothed out’, resulting in little or no sensation for your sensitive skin.
