Consultation
Our process begins with a personal consultation led by one of our expert Younique providers. This one-on-one meeting is the perfect time to discuss your concerns, goals for treatment, and medical history. If your provider recommends an acne reduction treatment in Santa Monica, we can schedule your appointment.
Procedure
Your Younique provider will remove any makeup from your skin and clean the treatment area. Then, they will apply the Levulan topical medicine to your skin, which enhances the results of the next step. Your provider will place protective goggles over your eyes, then apply our specialized laser that emits blue light wavelengths. The light will penetrate your skin enough to eliminate the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne. It will also peel the top layer of skin to refresh your appearance and reduce scarring.
Recovery
Following treatment, you may experience side effects such as redness, light skin discoloration, and tenderness. These are common and fade within a few days. We recommend you avoid exercise during your recovery as well as excess sun exposure for 2 to 3 days. Light peeling is also normal as your body sheds off the destroyed scar tissue.

Why would I use laser acne reduction treatment rather than over-the-counter medications?
Laser acne reduction differs from over-the-counter medications by the nature of the treatment. It attacks acne at the source.
Acne is a result of excess oil production in the skin. Oral antibiotics and topical lotions aren’t enough to eliminate stubborn cystic acne. Our 2-step laser acne treatment process chemically coats and destroys acne bacteria, offering an innovative solution to a common skin condition.
Can I have an acne reduction treatment in Santa Monica even if I have an active outbreak?
Versatility is one of the many benefits of acne reduction treatments. You can definitely receive treatment during an active acne breakout. Our treatment is noninvasive and allows our Younique patients to:
- Eliminate bacteria causing acne
- Tighten pores and revitalize skin
- Stop production of sebaceous glands
- Reduce scarring
