Acne is a problem that generally affects teenagers and gradually diminishes with age. However, some people may continue to suffer from it into their forties. Periodic breakouts can be a source of significant anxiety. On this page dedicated to acne, we offer our unique “combo: Pico plus Laser / microneedling” treatment to treat the scarring and uneven appearance of acne. This page is not dedicated to treating the inflammatory phase of acne.
Acne is caused by inflammation of the hair follicles and sebum in the skin. Acne commonly occurs on the face, back, chest and neck. We generally see different types of spots at different stages of development. All of them can leave permanent scars if not treated properly.
The most common treatments for acne during the inflammatory phase are antibiotics (e.g. clindamycin or erythromycin) or oral vitamin A-based medications (e.g. tretinoin). There are other types of medications that can be applied to the skin to help destroy bacteria and reduce inflammation (e.g. benzoyl peroxide and azelaic acid).
The Pico Plus laser is a well-known laser treatment for acne. The Pico Plus laser stimulates collagen production, promoting skin rejuvenation and reducing the appearance of acne scars. In addition to its action against acne scars, it reduces the size of enlarged pores, diminishes pigmentation spots, and improves skin tone and texture. Several sessions are necessary to achieve optimal results.
As its name suggests, microneedling uses fine needles that prick the skin. After the treatment, your skin will produce more collagen to heal the small wounds caused by the needles. Microneedling is most effective on indented (rather than raised) acne scars.
