Laser Acne
Proven Results
Laser acne treatment is an advanced, non-surgical way approach to addressing both active acne and acne scars. This method uses focused light energy to target the causes of acne, such as excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation, with the goal of reducing breakouts and improving skin texture. Unlike traditional acne treatments, which may involve oral medications or topical creams, laser treatments offer a more direct and often faster way to manage acne.

Acne and Acne Scar Revision
At Emerald Skin Lab, we use Fotona's advanced laser acne treatment to effectively target both active acne and acne scars. Fotona’s Nd:YAG laser safely penetrates the skin to reduce inflammation, target overactive sebaceous glands, and kill acne-causing bacteria, helping to control acne and prevent future breakouts.
For acne scars, we use Fotona’s Er:YAG laser to gently resurface the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. Unlike traditional treatments, Fotona's lasers offer precise control and minimal downtime for safe, effective results.
Our Fotona acne treatment delivers fast, visible improvements, with no side effects, while promoting oil reduction, collagen stimulation, and scar revision.
Key Benefits of Laser Acne Treatment
Non-invasive: Laser treatments are generally painless with minimal downtime compared to invasive procedures like chemical peels or surgery.
Effective for both active acne and scarring: Laser therapy can help prevent future breakouts while also improving the texture and appearance of acne scars.
Quick results: With most treatments, patients can see visible improvements after just a few sessions.
Long-lasting: While not a permanent cure for acne, laser treatments can provide long-term improvements in skin clarity and texture.

Follow-Up: Most people require a follow-up appointment 2-4 weeks after their first laser treatment to assess the skin’s healing process and determine if additional sessions are needed. Depending on the severity of your acne or acne scars, multiple laser treatments might be required. Acne treatments, such as blue light therapy or diode laser, may need 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

FAQs
-
Yes, laser treatment for acne can be highly effective, particularly for people with moderate to severe acne or those who have acne scars. Laser treatments target different aspects of acne, such as inflammation, excess oil production, bacterial overgrowth, and skin texture issues. The effectiveness of laser treatment, however, depends on factors like the type of acne, the type of laser used, the severity of the condition, and how well the skin responds to the treatment.
-
Laser treatments can also be very effective for improving the appearance of acne scars, especially when traditional methods (like over-the-counter products or topical creams) don’t produce satisfactory results, but they do not provide a permanent cure in the sense that acne may never return. While laser treatments can provide long-lasting results and significantly improve the appearance of the skin, acne is a chronic condition that can be influenced by various factors such as hormones, genetics, diet, and lifestyle.
-
For active acne, 4–6 sessions (spaced 1–2 weeks apart) are typically needed to see a significant reduction in breakouts. Maintenance treatments may be necessary every 3–6 months to prevent future breakouts.
For acne scarring, 3–6 sessions (spaced 4–6 weeks apart) can help improve the texture of the skin, with full results visible over the course of a few months. Touch-up treatments may be needed annually or as new acne breakouts cause scarring.
Ultimately, the exact number of sessions required will depend on the individual, the type of acne, and the laser treatment used. Our dermatologist will assess your skin and develop a personalized treatment plan to help achieve the best possible results.

With most laser treatments you will have a two-week recovery time. You might experience a little discomfort, swelling, and even a small amount of oozing or crusting of the skin. Keep in touch with your doctor if you have any concerns during your recovery time.
