Acne Treatment

There’s always a few questions on how to address acne. What is the best method for acne treatment? How to get rid of my acne scars? Laser treatments vs Microneedling for acne may be the most common comparison. At our location, we offer a range of effective acne treatments tailored for all types of acne such as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and cystic acne. Our laser options include the Laser Peel, Photo Facial IPL, and Erbium YAG Laser. Each are designed to address specific acne issues, from active breakouts to prevention and superficial scars. For treating deeper acne scars, we recommend RF Microneedling, which penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen and provide youthful skin.
Laser treatments excel at reducing redness, targeting inflammation, and improving the appearance of superficial scars. RF Microneedling is ideal for treating pitted scars and overall skin rejuvenation. Both options are safe, minimally invasive, and require 1–3 sessions for optimal results. These advanced treatments offer an effective alternative to topical approaches.

Which laser treatment is best for the face? Look no further than the Erbium YAG laser. This laser treatment effectively addresses acne scars, fine lines, sun damage, and overall skin texture improvement. The laser treatment process is straightforward—damaged skin layers are removed to stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, healthier skin. The laser treatment is customizable, allowing for adjustments in power, which determines the number of sessions needed (typically 1-3) and ultimately how short the downtime will be. Less invasive than chemical peels, lasers are an all natural effective solution.

What is a laser peel? What does a laser peel treat? The laser peel is our most effective yet least invasive laser treatment. Whether you’re looking to treat acne, reduce fine lines, even out skin discoloration, or simply refresh your complexion, the laser peel delivers impressive results. Using the Erbium YAG laser, this treatment targets only the outermost layer of the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process to encourage cell renewal and collagen production.
While multiple sessions are recommended for optimal results, the laser peel stands out as a minimal treatment option with very little downtime, making it safe and convenient for most clients. For more severe skin concerns, we’re happy to guide you toward a more intensive laser treatment tailored to your needs.

Laser hair removal is one of the most versatile treatments we offer, suitable for any skin type and any area of the body. While some laser treatments may be limited by melanin in the skin, laser hair removal is equally effective on both dark and fair skin tones. The laser specifically targets the pigment in hair follicles to prevent regrowth, and areas with tattoos are either avoided or carefully covered during treatment to ensure the ink remains untouched.
Contrary to popular belief, laser hair removal doesn’t remove hair immediately. Instead, it works gradually, permanently reducing hair growth over a series of sessions. The number of sessions required depends on the area being treated. This treatment is completely safe, providing an effective solution for smooth, hair-free skin.

What is a Mermaid Facial? How does a mermaid facial treat the face? The Mermaid Facial is one of our newest offerings and the only non-energy-based treatment currently available. Made popular by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Aniston, this treatment offers a natural alternative to Botox, providing rejuvenation without the use of neurotoxins. We chose to introduce it because of its incredible ability to deliver noticeable results in just a short amount of time. This 20-minute treatment targets the eyes, lips, and face through precise mesotherapy, using specially formulated serums that are injected to lift and hydrate the skin.
The Mermaid Facial works beautifully alongside laser treatments, complementing them for optimal results. Think of the Mermaid Facial as the fertilizer that revitalizes the foundation of your skin, while laser treatments act as the insurance, protecting and enhancing your investment. We highly recommend 1 session every month for 3 months to give, and maintain, the best results. With minimal downtime of just 1–2 days, all sessions can be completed within a month, making it a fantastic option for those seeking effective results without the longer recovery periods associated with our other treatments.

Struggling with redness, discoloration, age spots, or spider veins? Our Photo Facial (IPL) treatment is an excellent solution for addressing these more persistent pigmentation concerns. Using broadband light, IPL effectively targets and reduces discoloration, helping to restore a more even skin tone.
Since IPL operates at a stronger frequency to tackle deeper and more severe issues, it does require some downtime and multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. However, it is a safe and highly effective treatment for those looking to address stubborn skin concerns and rejuvenate their complexion.

What is the difference between RF microneedling and microneedling? RF microneedling and traditional microneedling differ primarily in their approach and effectiveness. The addition of radio frequency (RF) energy allows RF microneedling to deliver more impactful results in less time. While both techniques address common skin concerns like acne scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, RF microneedling offers added benefits, including the ability to improve stretch marks and reduce cellulite. For those wondering how to reduce wrinkles, RF microneedling is an excellent solution. By restoring collagen and most importantly elastin, it helps tighten the skin and minimize excess laxity. Treatment duration and the number of sessions needed will vary based on the area and specific concerns. This safe procedure typically takes about an hour, including the application of numbing cream to ensure comfort.

A Q-Switch laser is a type of laser that works by emitting short, high-intensity pulses of light. This technique allows the laser to target specific skin concerns without damaging the surrounding tissue. It’s particularly popular for tattoo removal because it can penetrate the skin deeply enough to break down the ink pigment, which is then naturally eliminated by the body. The Q-Switch laser is also effective for treating other skin conditions, such as melasma (a skin discoloration), Mongolian spots (birthmarks), and even stubborn toe nail fungus.

While some ink colors may be harder to remove than others, the Q-Switch laser treatment is generally straightforward and safe, often requiring at least three sessions depending on the severity of the issue. Though there are natural remedies for conditions like melasma or toenail fungus, the Q-Switch laser provides a faster, more effective solution when other methods haven’t shown significant results.

The Long Pulse YAG laser is specifically designed to target visible blood vessels, broken capillaries, spider veins, and vascular lesions on the face, making it highly effective for these concerns. While our Erbium YAG laser is more versatile and suited for a broader range of treatments, the Long Pulse YAG excels in addressing vascular issues. These concerns can be challenging to treat, which is why we offer this specialized solution for convenient, effective care. With minimal to no downtime, the Long Pulse YAG works gently with the skin’s outer layer, though precautions are always advised. The number of sessions needed varies based on the specific condition, and your provider will determine the best treatment plan for optimal results.
