Consultation
Your consultation begins with a licensed and experienced Younique provider. During this relaxed, one-on-one conversation, you’ll discuss your skin concerns, treatment goals, and medical history. If our laser treatment is the right fit for you, we’ll move forward with scheduling your acne reduction treatment in Oxnard.
Procedure
To begin, your Younique provider will gently remove any makeup and cleanse the treatment area. Then, a layer of Levulan topical solution is applied to enhance the effectiveness of the next phase. We’ll give you protective goggles and use a specialized laser calibrated to emit precise blue light wavelengths. This light penetrates the skin to target and destroy acne-causing bacteria while also exfoliating the outer layer to refresh the skin and reduce scarring.
Recovery
Side effects from laser acne reduction treatment are rare, but some patients may experience temporary redness, lasting up to a week. To support the healing process, it’s best to avoid exercise during this time. Mild skin discoloration, either lightening or darkening, can also occur, depending on your skin type. Some individuals may experience slight discomfort, which typically subsides shortly after treatment. Peeling is also common as your body sheds damaged skin and scar tissue. Be sure to avoid direct sun exposure for 2 to 3 days following your session.

Why would I use laser acne reduction treatment rather than over-the-counter medications?
Effective acne treatment starts by addressing its root cause: excess oil production and inflammation in the skin.
Stubborn forms of acne, like cystic or treatment-resistant breakouts, often don’t respond to over-the-counter products. Laser acne therapy goes beyond oral antibiotics and topical creams, delivering targeted results that last. Our safe, 2-step treatment uses a topical solution to prepare the skin, followed by a laser that eliminates acne-causing bacteria—offering an effective, modern solution to a long-standing problem.
Can I schedule acne reduction treatment in Oxnard even if I have an active outbreak?
One of the best things about acne reduction treatment is that we can perform it even during an active breakout. Because Younique’s Blue Light Levulan therapy is completely noninvasive and nonsurgical, patients can safely:
- Eliminate acne-causing bacteria
- Minimize pore size and revitalize skin
- Reduce oil production at the source
- Improve the appearance of acne scars
—all without waiting for clear skin.
