Acne Laser Treatment
Acne Laser Treatment in Penticton, BC
A safe and effective way to treat acne and acne scars without the need for medication or irritating products.
Our Fotona Acne Laser Treatment is a safe and effective way to treat acne and acne scars without the need for medication or irritating products.
Laser treatments for acne have been proven effective for people struggling with acne and/or acne scarring. The laser light penetrates deep into the skin to target overactive sebaceous glands to reduce sebum production. At South Okanagan Laser and Skin Centre we use a Fotona laser that reduces acne inflammation through light absorption and controlling heat. The laser also helps speed up the healing process from active lesions by stimulating collagen remodelling – which is an important process in the long-term treatment of acne.
The ideal candidate for Acne Laser Treatments would be someone who is currently struggling with consistent stubborn acne. If you want to treat acne without taking intense medication, laser treatments may be a great option for you. The laser is safe and effective. With repeat acne laser treatments, acne lesions can be noticeably reduced without the chance of side effects. If you have acne scarring the Fotona’s laser is ideal for mild to moderate scar revision. It safely and effectively penetrates the skin for resurfacing acne-scarred skin, helping to improve the texture and tone of your skin. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows the penetration depth to be precisely controlled by the practitioner.
If you think you would make a good candidate for an Acne Laser Treatment, contact us at South Okanagan Skin and Laser Center in Penticton, BC today to book your consultation.
During the Acne Laser Treatment, one of our knowledgeable and experienced industry professionals will treat your area of concern with the Fotona laser. The treatment can take between 60-90 minutes depending on the severity and size of the treatment area. Patients may experience mild to medium discomfort levels as the laser is used on the skin. Swelling or redness may occur immediately after the treatment, and can subside within a few hours post-treatment. Most people will continue on with their day-to-day activities immediately after the acne laser treatment. It is best to avoid sunlight after the laser treatment, and it is always recommended to apply a generous amount of SPF to protect the skin from the sun’s damaging rays. The recovery will depend on the patient and how severe their acne case is. It is normal for the recovery to take between 2-7 days. Our practitioner will be sure to go over the recovery process with you during your consultation appointment.
Fun Fact:
Healing times will decrease if we add blood-derived growth factors to your treatment.
