What is LASER ACNE FACE TREATMENT?
At 3D Lifestyle MedSpa, they offer a variety of laser acne treatments designed to address and improve skin conditions such as acne and acne scars. These treatments are part of their broader menu of non-invasive medical aesthetic services, which also includes options like medical-grade facials, non-surgical facelifts, and skin rejuvenation procedures. The specific type of laser used for acne can vary, as the clinic tailors treatments to meet individual skin needs, focusing on improving skin tone and texture while reducing the appearance of blemishes.
How does LASER ACNE FACE TREATMENT work?
Lasers can target the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin, reducing their activity and thereby decreasing oil production. Less oil can help to reduce the occurrence of acne.Certain types of laser treatments emit light that is absorbed by the bacteria that cause acne. The heat generated by the laser destroys these bacteria deep within the skin, reducing inflammation and preventing future breakouts.Laser treatments can also help to stimulate the growth of new skin cells by promoting collagen production. This not only helps in healing existing acne scars but also improves the overall texture and appearance of the skin.The heat from the laser can also help to reduce redness and inflammation associated with severe acne, providing relief and improving skin appearance.
What can I expect during the treatment?
Before the session starts, your skin will be cleaned, and you may receive a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the treatment. This cream usually needs about 30 to 60 minutes to take effect. You will be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the intense light of the laser. The dermatologist or trained technician will use a handheld laser device to treat the affected areas of your skin. You might feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin or a warm pinprick as the laser moves across your face.
How many sessions will I need?
For those with mild to moderate acne, typically around 3 to 5 sessions are required. These sessions are usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and respond to the treatment.For more severe cases, more sessions may be necessary, possibly 6 or more. The exact number will depend on how well the skin responds to the initial treatments.After the initial series of treatments, some patients might need occasional maintenance sessions. These could be spaced several months apart and are used to manage any new acne flare-ups or to further improve skin texture and scarring.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is laser acne treatment?
Laser acne treatment uses focused light therapy to target and reduce acne-causing bacteria, decrease oil production, and stimulate skin healing and regeneration. This can help reduce active acne and minimize scars.
Is laser acne treatment painful?
Discomfort levels can vary depending on the laser intensity and the individual’s pain threshold. Many describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Topical numbing creams are often used to minimize discomfort.
What are the potential side effects?
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and slight irritation of the treated areas. These typically subside within a few hours to days. More serious side effects, such as hyperpigmentation or scarring, are rare but possible, especially in darker skin tones.
How long does each session take?
Sessions usually last between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the specific laser technology used.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions varies based on the severity of acne and the patient’s skin response. Typically, 3 to 5 sessions spaced several weeks apart are needed for mild to moderate acne, with more sessions required for severe cases.
What should I expect after treatment?
Post-treatment, expect some redness and swelling. The skin may feel tender, but these symptoms generally subside quickly. Most people can resume normal activities immediately, though direct sun exposure should be avoided.

Amazing service — my injector was very attentive and knowledgeable. Definitely went over and above to ensure that I was satisfied with results (follow up appointment). I will definitely be making this my regular clinic for Botox and filler treatments.

I have been twice for botox and will keep coming back. The staff is friendly and the treatment is well priced. I have been happy with how the botox has worked. I recommend getting the membership if you want to do multiple treatments.
