Laser Acne Treatments
Laser Acne Treatment works by targeting the root
causes of acne—bacteria, inflammation, and
excessive oil production. The laser penetrates deep
into the skin to reduce acne-causing bacteria while stimulating collagen production, leading to clearer, healthier skin over time. Unlike traditional
treatments, laser therapy offers a long-term solution
with minimal side effects and no downtime.

How It Works
Targeting Acne at the Source for Clearer Skin
Laser technology harnesses gentle heat and light energy to
effectively target acne at its source. By penetrating deep
into the skin, it destroys acne-causing bacteria while
simultaneously shrinking overactive oil glands. This process
reduces excess oil production, minimizes clogged pores, and
helps prevent future breakouts.
Additionally, the laser stimulates the skin’s natural healing
response, promoting collagen production and accelerating
cell turnover. As a result, inflammation is reduced, scars
begin to fade, and your skin gradually becomes smoother,
clearer, and more balanced with each session.

Laser Acne Treatments – Frequently Asked Questions
-
How Many Treatments Are Needed?The average person generally requires between 8-12 treatments. The treatments are usually 4-6 weeks apart. Sometimes with hormonal issues like PCOS and thyroid disorders, or larger body areas - additional treatments are needed.
-
Can I Tan While Receiving Laser Hair Removal?No tanning in between treatments. SPF of at least 35 should be used during sun exposure as hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin in the area treated) may occur in a small percentage of people.
-
What Happens After My Treatment?After the treatment the hair will go through a 3 week shedding process. The majority of the hair will shed out in 3 to 4 days after the treatment but it can take up to 3 weeks or more for stubborn hairs to work their way out. By the end of the 3rd week you will start to see the effects of the laser hair removal treatment. The hair will grow in slower and less coarse and may appear patchy.
-
Why Do I Still See Hair After My Laser Session?Laser does NOT treat the hair itself, so you will still see hair after the treatment. Laser targets the papilla, which is at the base of the follicle that supplies nutrition to the hair. It takes several treatments to stunt the hair growth. Even after hair stops growing in additional treatments are required to ensure the hair stays gone long term. After the initial series of treatments, touch up treatments will be needed eventually, based on hormonal fluctuations and aging.
-
What Are the Common Side Effects?Some typical reactions are redness, bumps and sometimes swelling. It is possible for these to last up to two to three days but most will only be slightly pink for about 10 minutes.
-
How Large is the Treatment Area Per Laser Pulse?With every one second pulse of the laser it will cover the surface area of about the size of a nickel, treating all the hairs within that circumference.
-
Does Laser Work on All Hair Colors?Laser does not work on blonde, gray or white hair.
-
Is There Pain During the Treatment?Ice packs are offered to numb the area before and during the treatment. We also offer a topical anesthetic cream that is recommended for sensitive areas such as the lip underarms and bikini. The topical needs to be applied 45 minutes before the treatment, so it can be sent home with you after your first appointment to be applied for your future treatments.
-
How Does the Laser Work?The Candela gentle yag is a device that produces an intense but gentle burst of light that fragments to reduce hair growth with selective destruction and minimal harm to the surrounding tissue.
