Acne Treatment

Acne is a disorder resulting from the action of hormones and other substances on the skin's oil glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. Severe acne can lead to permanent scarring. Acne can affect adults as well as teenagers, and we know it can be frustrating and embarrassing to deal with acne and acne scarring at any age. Advanced Laser Clinic offers several options for Acne Treatment, and we are happy to work with you to find your best treatment options and to assist you in developing an on-going skin care routine that is best for your skin.

We will discuss your treatment and skin care needs in detail with you during your initial consultation, and create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals. We offer a variety of treatment options, which include:

Vitalize Peel
SkinMedica's Vitalize Peel is a powerful, non-damaging peel that uses an acidic solution to remove the outer layer of skin and stimulate the production of new skin cells. The Vitalize Peel is SkinMedica's most popular chemical peel and is suitable for all skin types.

Rejuvenize Peel
SkinMedica's Rejuvenize Peel is a powerful, non-damaging peel that uses an acidic solution to remove the outer layer of skin and stimulate the production of new skin cells. The Rejuvenize Peel is SkinMedica's deepest peel. The Rejuvenize Peel penetrates into the epidermis to produce significant results with minimal irritation.

MicroLaserPeel and ProFractional
The MicroLaserPeel’s beam is scanned over a treatment area to remove a very thin layer of the skin. Removing the top layer eliminates some of the damaged cells that can give skin a tired, aged look. As the skin heals, fresh cells grow and resurface the treated area. The result is healthier-looking skin, often with reduced wrinkles and improved color evenness. Patients often say that it looks like their skin went from looking tired to vibrant.

ProFractional uses a tiny laser beam to treat thousands of pinpoint areas of your skin. Because only a fraction of your skin is directly treated with the laser, the surrounding untreated tissue promotes rapid healing. The skin’s wound healing response creates new collagen which adds firmness and resilience to the skin. ProFractional can treat individual scars as minimally or as aggressively as necessary to create an overall evenness to the skin. Deeper scars that require more aggressive treatments can be treated accordingly, while more shallow scars can be treated at a different setting. Though ProFractional can spot treat, treating the whole face at varying intensities creates a uniform color, texture, and tone.

The treatment of scarring is a popular indication for Sciton's ProFractional alone as well as in combination with Sciton's MicroLaserPeel. Acne scars cause uneven texture, and often uneven color and tone in the skin as well. This uneven appearance is accentuated with accumulated sun damage. The one-two punch of superficial resurfacing and deep penetration collagen remodeling helps blend these textures, tone and color.
