Laser Acne & Acne Scarring Treatment

Clearer Skin is Possible

Understanding Acne

While most people think of Acne as affecting those in the teen years, Acne can also be a struggle for many adults with aging skin. Acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States. For reasons no one completely understands, follicles, often called pores, overproduce cells and sometimes get blocked. Sebum (oil), which normally drains to the surface, gets blocked and bacteria begins to grow. It is this bacteria that is responsible for the formation of acne. This can often leave pitted scars after the acne heals.

Treatment for Acne includes the use of Acne Lasers as well as properly selected skin care products to maintain results.

Treatment for Superficial vs Cystic Acne

Based on the depth and type of the acne, different lasers or treatments can be used for the best outcome. Listed below are the treatments that can be performed to assist in the resolution and improvement of the different forms of acne.

Superficial Acne
  • Topical medication can be prescribed by your doctor to improve superficial acne. These are usually antibiotics and should be limited in their long-term use due to the harmful effects on your gut biome. 
  • Superficial Laser and Light-based treatments can be used to remove the bacteria that are causing the acne outbreaks. A series of treatments may be needed to produce a 3-12 month result in acne clearance. The lasers used for this treatment are fractionated lasers and the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL or BBL/BroadBand Light) treatments.
Deep Cystic Acne

An oral medication called Accutane is reserved for this type of condition but has known side effects that limit its use. It is only prescribed by a dermatologist and its use is highly regulated and limited.

A viable long-term and safe treatment option is available at Lasting SkinSolutions®. It is a laser treatment called SkinTyte that sends heat to the depth of the sebaceous gland rendering the gland inactive. One to three treatments can be required.

Laser Treatment for Acne Scarring

Laser treatment for acne scars aims to minimize the appearance of scars from old acne breakouts. A substantial amount of people who have acne have some residual scarring, either as indentations or redness.

Laser treatments at Lasting SkinSolutions for acne scars focuses laser energy towards the top layers of your skin, to break up the scar tissue with a Profractional type fractionated laser. While this treatment doesn’t completely remove acne scars, it can reduce their appearance and also improve the overall appearance of the skin. Light based treatments such as the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can reduce the redness associated with acne scarring as well.

I’ve always struggled with having an extremely dark birthmark on my hand. I’ve researched so much on options, tattoos, and home remedies to try and find something that worked for me. I found Lasting Skin Solutions by chance and it was like I miracle. I could not be more happy with my results- it’s like the birthmark was ever there and the scar is barely noticeable! I cannot thank the staff here for all they have done for me!! Extremely reasonably priced as well! Win-win-win❤️

I rarely take the time to write reviews as I usually get poor service and simply give up! I’ve experienced such good service from Kim and her team that I simply had to take the time to share it. I’ve seen Kim regularly for two years now for Biote, filler and botox treatments. I have never before experienced the positive results I’ve experienced with LSS. This , combined with the friendly , positive interaction I always receive has made it a truly wonderful experience. LSS makes you feel like part of their family and sincerely approaches your journey as a journey that you take together as a team. Thank you LSS for the difference you have made in my life!

Fabulous care and results. My skin looks absolutely wonderful after one IPL Laser plus microdermabrasion treatment. I had no downtime, and my face was healed to about 98% after one week. Kim does magic.

Lasting Skin Solutions is A+++++! Kim and her staff are knowledgeable, well informed, and really listen. I have used LLS for skin procedures (mole removal) and testosterone pelleting. LLS has been in business 25+ years and Kim S is the reason why! Highly recommend and will continue to be a customer!

I don’t do Google reviews. They seem to be only for angry people. But after seeing the previous reviews, had to weigh in. Was referred to Kim by a friend. I was not disappointed. The entire staff rocks. Welcoming and put me at ease. Kim does not over sell her services. Only recommended treatments that would work. After I saw the difference, I was all “give me more of that good stuff!” Even then, Kim dialed me back and set me up with a plan that would achieve the results I wanted. Internet reviews can get hateful. Just remember, we all have different experiences. I guess I’m just a very satisfied (much better looking) customer!
