Acne Scaring

What is acne laser treatment?

Laser acne treatment is a noninvasive, FDA-approved procedure that reduces active acne as well as scarring and hyperpigmentation from past acne outbreaks. The certified technicians at Bella Figure Laser Institute treat acne using Cutera xeo laser technology. Cutera xeo is painless, safe, and effective in improving the appearance of your skin by reducing signs of acne.

Who is acne laser treatment for?

Anyone plagued by chronic acne that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter skin care could be a candidate for laser treatment with Cutera xeo. This procedure can improve:

• Active acne outbreaks
• Pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads
• Scarring from previous bouts of acne
• Hyperpigmentation of the skin
• Prevention of future acne eruptions

What should I expect from an acne laser treatment?

Before the laser treatment, your Bella Figure laser technician gently cleans your face to remove excess dirt and oil. You’re given special eyewear to protect your eyes and guarantee your safety throughout the procedure. When you’re ready, the technician uses the Cutera xeo device to gently pass a laser over the skin on your face, one side at a time. Acne laser treatment is a quick and painless procedure. Side effects are minimal and should only last a short period, but you may experience:

• Redness
• Swelling
• A slight burning sensation

How effective is acne laser treatment?

Studies show laser acne treatment to be effective in most men and women, with a 36-83% improvement in acne symptoms. Results vary from person to person, and there’s no way to tell how your unique complexion will respond. You may need multiple treatments over the course of several months. Laser acne treatment can be effective in preventing future outbreaks of pimples, but you may require follow-up treatments once or twice a year to maintain your fresh complexion. Your acne treatment plan is customized to meet your personal needs and beauty goals.
