Benefits of Laser Acne Reduction in Los Angeles
Anti-Bacterial
A safe, topical, 2-step treatment that chemically coats and then destroys acne bacteria.
Anti-Scarring
Our laser acne reduction treatment peels the top layers of scarring, reducing or eliminating them.
Long Lasting
The results of our acne reduction treatment can last a lifetime with proper lifestyle choices and maintenance.
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this relaxing and energizing one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. If your provider determines that acne reduction treatment in Los Angeles is the best treatment for your concerns and goals, your session can be scheduled.
Procedure
First, your Younique provider will remove all makeup and thoroughly cleanse the treatment area. Next, the Levulan topical medicine is applied to the skin, which works to enhance the effectiveness of the second step. Protective goggles will be placed, and then we apply our specialized laser that has been tuned to specific blue light wavelengths. This blue light penetrates your skin just deep enough to destroy bacteria that cause inflammatory acne, while also peeling the top layer of skin to rejuvenate the area and reduce scarring.
Recovery
While side effects from laser acne reduction treatment are uncommon, you may get redness of skin that will last a week at most, during which time you should do no exercise for recovery purposes. You may also encounter skin discoloration, which can make your skin either lighter or darker. Depending on the person, you may experience slightly more discomfort, which will fade over a short period of time after your laser acne treatment. Expect some peeling as your body discards the destroyed scar tissue. Avoid all sun exposure for 2 to 3 days.
Why would I use laser acne reduction treatment rather than over-the-counter medications?
For any acne treatment to work, it must target the cause of your acne. This skin condition is a result of excess oil production in the skin and inflammation.
Resistant and cystic acne frequently fail to respond to traditional over-the-counter measures of control. Laser acne treatment works even better than oral antibiotics and topical lotions. Our safe topical 2-step treatment that chemically coats and then destroys acne bacteria offers a new solution to an old problem.
Can I have acne reduction treatment in Los Angeles even if I have an active outbreak?
That’s one of the great things about acne reduction treatment: You can have it done even if your outbreak is active. Because it’s 100% nonsurgical and noninvasive, Younique’s Blue Light Levulan therapy allows patients to:
- Destroy the bacteria that causes their acne
- Tighten pores and refresh skin
- Stop sebaceous gland production
- Reduce scarring
Even if they have an active outbreak.
