Blue Light Therapy

Using blue LED lights, we are able to manage and treat the appearance of acne! The specific wave lengths of blue led lights develop oxygen radicals that target and kill P. acnes bacterium, the bacteria that is responsible for causing acne breakouts! This is an FDA approved treatment for moderate acne that can be unresponsive to other treatments. Receiving Blue Light Therapy also reduces inflammation in the skin. It is safe, effective, and requires just 30 minute in-office session! 

Patients will sit under the blue light targeted at the facial skin for 20-30 minutes, and it is recommended to be done twice a week, for a month. This treatment is painless, non-invasive, and requires no downtime!

Microdermabrasion

Reveal new skin with our exfoliating treatment, Microdermabrasion. Acne can be caused by clogged pores, resulting from a build up of dead skin cells, dirt and oil. Exfoliating your top layer of dead skin cells away can prevent future breakouts and reveal fresh, smooth skin. This treatment is ideal for managing the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation caused from acne and sun damage.

Lack of exfoliation can consequently lead your skin looking dull, uneven, and rough! Using our NueSkin system, aluminum oxide crystals will sand away the top layer of skin. This allows for gentle exfoliation while simultaneously vacuuming away the dead skin. Common uses for Microdermabrasion is to address the appearance of scars, acne scarring, age spots, and wrinkles.

After treatment you will notice improved skin texture and tone. 4-8 sessions are typically required for optimal improvement, and there is no downtime or recovery necessary, allowing you to resume daily activities as normal.

Carbon Laser Peel

Eliminate those stubborn blemishes and reveal a new, glowing complexion! By using a specialized carbon mask and laser energy to draw out the impurities in the skin, we can remove dead skin cells, reduce oil and sebum production, and unclog your pores all in one go!

This treatment removes the dull layers of your skin, perfect for treating hyperpigmentation, and acne scars, while reducing the chances of future breakouts.

Carbon Laser Peels are best suited for those with oily skin types and acne. If you’ve been struggling with congested skin, enlarged pores, and oily skin, a Carbon Laser Peel is your perfect fix! In just a 30-minute session, we can give you the clear, radiant skin of your dreams.

Ultrasonic Scrubber for acne treatment

Another acne treatment that is great for keeping those pores clear is the Ultra Sonic Scrubber! By using a metal spatula like device, and high frequency vibrations this unclogs deeply congested skin, and gently exfoliates the top layers of skin. This effectively cleanses the skin, and can reduce the appearance of large pores.

Using an Ultrasonic Scrubber, issues with skin texture and tone are addressed. You’ll notice an overall improvement in the smoothness and tone of your complexion. Because of its ability to remove the build up of dead skin, dirt and oil, skin care products are able to penetrate the skin better for further improvement and your acne can be managed.

VI Purify

Our VI Purify chemical peel is designed to specifically target and combat acne, by unclogging pores and killing acne causing bacteria! Using a chemical peel is a great way to hit the reset button on your skin, as it completely sheds the top layer of dead skin and debris, and effectively reduces oil production to reduce the occurrence of acne-causing clogged pores.

The VI Purify chemical peel includes the best active ingredients for targeting acne:

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid is a chemical exfoliant that is proven to be an effective acne treatment. When applied to the skin, dead skin is shed away. Because it is oil soluble, it is able to deeply enter pores and unclog them. This controls oil production and constricts the pore size to prevent clogging.

Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide is an antimicrobial effective at killing acne causing bacteria, and increasing cell turnover to allow speed up the elimination of acne, and works specifically well with more severe inflammatory acne. 

Kojic Acid

Kojic acid is a powerful skin brightening agent that can quickly fade discoloration in the skin from acne scars, sun spots, and age spots, revealing an even-toned, and overall brighter complexion.
