Acne

Older teens with clear, acne free skin after acne treatment

Although acne can’t be cured, new acne laser therapy can greatly reduce its occurrence. IPL treatment therapy can lessen the blemishes, redness and scars left behind from your teenage years or even more recent bouts with acne. According to the Mayo Clinic, the type of bacteria that causes the redness and swelling of acne can be killed by exposing the skin to light and heat therapy. This type of acne treatment also reduces the production of oil by shrinking the sebaceous glands, thereby limiting additional occurrences of acne.

At Valley View Laser M.D., we use IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments with Cynosure technology to target and destroy the skin bacteria responsible for acne to help prevent future breakouts of face acne, chest acne and back acne. The pulsed light technology in IPL treatment delivers a spectrum of light that is absorbed by porphyrins within the skin, destroying P. acnes bacteria.

Why Light Therapy for the Treatment of Acne?

Treating acne with pulsed light can deliver better aesthetic results, especially on inflammatory acne, without the side effects associated with topical and oral acne medications. Topical creams and oral medications can be effective treatments for acne outbreaks, but they can be expensive and can dry and irritate sensitive skin as well as irritate the digestive system. Back acne and chest acne can be difficult to treat topically because of the large surface area, but IPL treatment technology can treat all affected areas easily. If you are currently on other treatments, we will work closely with your dermatologist or family doctor to determine the best acne treatment regimen for you.

What to Expect from IPL Treatment Therapy?

With IPL therapy, you may need multiple treatment sessions. However, with our advanced contact cooling technology, the commonly reported side effects of temporary redness, crusting and peeling in the treated areas are minimal. If multiple treatment sessions are required, you can expect a short healing time. Additionally, the risk of infection is eliminated, and there is only mild to moderate discomfort.

What about Acne Scarring?

Mild acne scarring can often be improved with a combination of IPL treatment followed by deeper laser treatments. This treatment can take multiple sessions over many months, but the results can be quite profound. Microdermabrasion also can be effective in the treatment of acne scarring and is available at our facility as well. Let Valley View Laser M.D. help you with microdermabrasion as part of your overall acne treatment.

Physician Directed Means Safe and Effective Cosmetic Treatments

Med Spas and salons often offer laser hair removal and other cosmetic treatments for the skin much cheaper than at doctors' offices. But when choosing a practitioner to perform cosmetic treatments for the skin, laser hair removal, age spot removal and treatment of acne, safety should be your top concern. At Valley View Laser M.D., our cosmetic laser treatments and procedures are performed or directed by Dr. Mark Maria, a physician with more than 30 years’ experience. Dr. Maria helps clients select treatments that will meet their goals and guides them through the preparation, process and follow-up to help achieve the results you want and improvements you can see.

When it comes to effective cosmetic treatments for your skin, choose a provider with medical expertise.
