What is Acne Treatment?

Acne laser treatment is a non-invasive or minimally invasive skin procedure that uses focused light energy to treat active acne, reduce oil production, kill acne-causing bacteria, and improve the appearance of acne scars. It’s commonly recommended for people who haven’t had success with traditional treatments like topical creams or oral medications.

Key Benefits:

  • Reduces acne lesions and inflammation.

  • Kills acne-causing bacteria.

  • Improves skin tone and texture.

  • Non-invasive alternative to medications.

  • Useful for individuals resistant to antibiotics.

How the Treatment Works

Step 1: Consultation & Skin Assessment

Our expert team will assess your skin needs and customize a plan that fits you perfectly. We’ll walk you through the process, ensuring you feel confident and informed.

Step 2: Skin Preparation

Your skin is cleansed to remove any oil or makeup. A numbing cream may be applied, and you'll wear protective goggles to shield your eyes during the treatment.

Step 3: Laser Treatment

The laser is passed over the treatment area, targeting bacteria, oil glands, or scarring. You may feel a warm or snapping sensation. Sessions usually last 15–45 minutes.

Step 4: Aftercare

Post-treatment, your skin may be red or sensitive. A soothing product is applied, and you’ll receive aftercare instructions like avoiding sun and using gentle skincare.

Step 5: Results Over Time

With multiple sessions, you'll notice reduced breakouts, smoother texture, and faded scars. Most people need 3–6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for best results.

    Excellent service with great results! Since starting my treatment, I’ve seen and felt a huge difference in my skin. The consultation with Fides was very informative, letting me know what treatments we should do to target my skin and yield the best outcomes. I have finished my treatment and am currently doing maintenance to retain the progress. The pictures on file make the changes in your skin apparent; my face completion and texture have improved a lot since my first session. I have struggled with acne, which was treated and since then, I occasionally get breakouts; however, I've noticed that they aren't as harsh as before, and I've never been happier with my skin. The staff is delightful, and I enjoy my visits every time!

    Been a customer for over a year and all I can say is I will come back here in a heartbeat for anything skin related issues I have. Fides and the whole team is very caring and they make every treatment as personalized as can be so that I can get the most of my visit. I live in SF and every once in a while I make it a point to fly all the way to Toronto just for their treatments. I used to have so much acne due to wearing mask during covid and their Carbon Spectra Laser helped a lot with healing and preventing acne to come back. This process though needs 100% commitment but I am telling you, it is worth it.

    I wish I could give 10/5 stars! I’ve done several treatments here and I’m very satisfied with them all! I’m so blown away with their new laser hair removal technology! Initially I was afraid of pain and getting burned because I have darker skin which lasers are usually more sensitive to my skin type. I’m happy to say that I haven’t had any bad reactions after a few sessions now! It’s painless to me and feels more cool than warm to me in most areas! I like that they always do a test patch on my skin to ensure I’m comfortable with the heat of the laser before we proceed! It’s always a comfortable session and no skin irritations afterwards! I also notice that the more treatments I’ve done, the slower the hair grows back with patches that don’t grow back AT ALL! That means it’s working exactly as it should! I can’t wait to see the finished results to which I hope to post my before and after pictures here!
