Acne Treatment

The laser Acne Treatment we offer at Essence Medical is designed to reduce the appearance of acne scars. The laser removes the unwanted skin, leaving healthy skin behind. The healthy tissue that remains is further stimulated by the laser to produce new elastin and collagen which help to long-term create smoothness in the previously acne scarred skin surface.

Patients can often see a visible difference after just one laser acne treatment. However, a common side effect to the treatment is initial redness. As a result, it can take up to 2 weeks for that temporary redness to fully fade. Beyond that, the length of time before the ideal final results are seen would vary depending on how many sessions would be required.

Once the recommended treatment cycle is complete patients typically experience healthier, acne free skin for many years to come. SharpLight technology is designed to help make the skin more resistant to acne development but this result cannot be guaranteed. Our team at Essence Medical is happy to conduct regular maintenance to help keep your skin as clear and healthy as possible.

The staff at Essence Medical is proud to use the SharpLight OmniMax S3 & S4 for all laser based applications. Both the S3 & S4 are widely regarded as being among the best devices available on the market and the results speak for themselves.

Laser acne treatment with SharpLight technology is generally utilized to eliminate acne scarring. However, it can in some cases be used to help treat rosacea and active acne as well. As part of our FREE consultation, our trained medical staff will assess your condition and help to determine whether or not the treatment is suitable for you.

Laser Acne Treatment is generally conducted as an isolated procedure. However, as part of your FREE consultation our trained medical staff will assess your skin condition and make any recommendations for facials or skincare products to further nourish your skin.

The number of treatment sessions required to effectively treat acne scarring varies from patient to patient. Less severe cases will generally require a small set of treatment sessions, while more severe cases may require substantially more to obtain the optimal result. Our trained medical staff will always fully assess your personal condition prior to beginning treatment to give you an estimate of what should be required to help you get the final result you're looking for.

In addition to helping to remove acne scarring, laser acne treatments with SharpLight are also designed to help with boosting collagen production in the treated areas and easing overall skin irritation once the treatment has fully settled. We cannot guarantee these additional benefits but we are happy to share that a number of patients have experienced them to date.

There are a number of treatment options when it comes to acne. Some patients prefer to try doctor recommended medications and skin care products to help treat and prevent flare ups, while others prefer a series of laser treatments. Our staff will always assess your personal skin condition and help you to determine if laser treatment is likely to work effectively for you.
