Laser Acne Treatment in Beverly Hills, CA

Laser acne treatment is available at Aesthetic Body Solutions in Beverly Hills, CA for men and women who would like to see more improvement in their skin. Acne treatments today with laser can be a great addition to your skin care routine when battling acne, acne scars, and the discoloration it can do to your skin. No matter what your age, you can develop acne as a teen or as an adult. Hormones influence the way our skin thrives — this includes the development of blemishes.

Acne can form on the face and body. You may have tried the prescription washes, topical gels, or oral medications provided by a doctor to soothe and heal your acne with unsatisfactory results. Our board-certified internist, Dr. Dale Prokupek, invites you to come in for a consultation and skin evaluation to see if you would benefit from laser acne treatments. Aesthetic Body Solutions is happy to provide noninvasive laser treatments with the Lumenis® M22™ laser to treat acne. We invite you to contact us and request additional information about our laser acne technologies and set up a session. We want our patients to feel terrific about their skin again.

Laser acne treatments using the Lumenis platform offer a number of effective benefits to fight acne and help you love the skin you're in, including:

• Diminishes the appearance of acne scarring and pitting
• Eliminates acne-causing microorganisms
• Stimulates collagen production
• Promotes clearer skin
• Enhances the overall appearance of your skin
• Treatments are customized for your unique skin concerns
• Treatments are quick and easy
• Effective for most skin types

To qualify for laser acne treatments, you will need to have a consultation with our medical team at Aesthetic Body Solutions. If you have an active infection, you may need to have other treatments before laser acne treatments can be beneficial. You do not want to make hot, swollen areas of your facial skin worse with added irritation or the risk of spreading infection. Once it is determined that you would be appropriate for laser acne treatments, we will provide your services with the newest laser technologies on the market today. 

We will begin by cleansing your skin. If necessary, individuals will receive safety glasses to guard their eyes. During the procedure, Dr. Prokupek will slowly move the laser across your face to eliminate acne-causing microorganisms. You will likely experience some irritation during the treatment; however, it is usually described as a slight stinging sensation. Laser acne treatment helps improve your skin, allowing you to accomplish a cleaner, healthier look. Dr. Prokupek can also make recommendations on how to ease the appearance of acne scars with our laser treatments as well.

After a laser acne treatment, you might observe some reddening, puffiness, and mild skin tenderness. Based on the section treated, we recommend not utilizing beauty care products for a day. In addition, you need to prevent any long-term sun exposure. Individuals can observe a difference after 24 – 48 hours. Dr. Prokupek will identify the number of sessions you need based on the severity of your blemishes. Most patients require 3 – 6 appointments to observe healthier-looking skin.

Why would I have an IPL photofacial and a ResurFX™ treatment?
It is true that both treatments are beneficial to your skin. However, they are two different treatments. When you need laser acne treatment, IPL does wonders for improving discoloration, or hyperpigmentation of your skin, by taking out redness in acne inflamed skin. ResurFX treatments take your skin to a new level in health and appearance by reducing the appearance of acne scars. By going deep down within the layers of your skin, the ResurFX technology renews the texture of the skin and stimulates collagen production. Your skin can be tighter, smoother, and less damaged from acne without harming the surface of the surrounding skin.

Why do I have to avoid the sun before and after a laser acne treatment?
It is best to always protect your skin from the sun. However, we ask that you please avoid direct sun exposure to your facial skin, using a tanning bed, or using a spray tanner for at least two weeks before your treatment for the best results. Once you have had your session, we also recommend staying out of direct sunlight for 48 hours post-treatment. Your skin will be super sensitive to light, and you will not be comfortable with sunburned skin and acne.

Will the Lumenis M22 or ResurFX treatments hurt my skin?
Laser treatments on sensitive skin can cause mild discomfort. However, the pain can be minimized with the application of a topical numbing agent before the session begins. We want you to be comfortable during your session if it is possible.

Will laser acne treatment cure my acne permanently?
You should expect to see permanent improvement on any acne scarring that was treated by the laser. However, in rare cases, some individuals' skin heals differently and may require multiple sessions. The severity of the scarring may also influence your initial outcomes.

Does laser acne treatment hurt?
Your treatment will last around 30 minutes and should not result in any pain throughout that time. You may feel a heat or warmth from the laser but it should never feel uncomfortable or intolerable. In addition, you will wear protective goggles so as to not harm your eyes.
