Treatment
Acne is an inflammatory condition of the skin. Typically characterized by clogged pores and pimples, cysts, blackheads and whiteheads, Acne affects the face, shoulders, back, neck and chest. The most common causes are changes in hormonal levels, increased sebum production and bacteria.
Active Acne
In many cases, we can prevent our clients from needing to go on aggressive oral medications such as Accutane or long-term antibiotics because laser therapy has proven to be a very effective and faster way to treat acne. This laser treatment is also FDA approved for active acne.
SouthPointe Family Physicians P.C Wellness & Aesthetics will use the Sciton Profile 1319 NM and/or the Sciton Profile BBL (broadband light source) to treat your acne conditions. The Sciton Profile 1319 NM works by heating the sebaceous glands in the dermis of the skin, leading to a reduction of oil production. The acne on your body will soften as a result and you will notice an immediate improvement in your skin texture and smoothness.
Recovery Expectations
