ACTIVE ACNE TREATMENT

Active Acne and Acne Scarring Laser Treatment in Baltimore, MD

Fotona laser acne treatment protocol provides a comprehensive solution to acne problem. Laser Acne & Acne Scars Treatment, involves a neodymium YAG (Nd:YAG) laser light that effectively and safely penetrates into skin deep enough to the development of acne inflammation through photoselective absorption and heating of overactive sebaceous glands—all without damaging the skin’s surface. Women’s Health and Cosmetic Services of Maryland is happy to offer Fotona Active Acne Treatment to women residing in Baltimore, Annapolis, Washington, DC, and the surrounding Maryland communities.

What is Fotona Laser Active Acne Treatment?

The Fotona laser system with its Dynamis laser module is a state-of-the-art machine that has the capacity to combine the Nd:YAG (YAG laser) and Er:YAG (erbium laser) to effectively treat various forms of acne. The thermal effects of these two lasers produce disinfecting properties in the cysts and surrounding tissues, while the erbium laser micro punctures the hole, causing immediate drainage of the pus-filled cyst. This provides the patient with instantaneous relief from the pressure the cyst was causing. The Er:YAG laser can be applied to the drained area to assist in coagulating the tissue and efficiently disinfecting the newly treated area to prevent reoccurrence.

Benefits of Active Acne Laser Treatment

The causes of acne vary for everyone. For example, acne can be triggered by stress, or it can simply be caused by your genetics. Common causes include bacterial infections in the skin, hormonal changes, hormonal imbalances, and improper hygienic practices of the skin, which can all cause inflammation in the skin, leading to acne. If left untreated, acne can cause scarring on the face that can cause damage to the superficial layers of the skin.

Acne scars can appear as irregularities in the texture of the skin, darkening of the inflamed areas, and sometimes deep indents from severe cystic acne. Treating acne scars that have matured over the years can be a challenging task, as they will be quite resistant to conventional methods of action.

Active acne treatments are best operated on the skin where the acne has subsided because active acne can cause more irritation of the skin. This is because the pores need to be clear of inflammation to respond effectively to treatments without damaging the skin even further. Persistent acne is treated best with medications from a certified dermatologist to help manage and control more severe forms of acne in patients.

Our clinic is proud to offer the latest in laser rejuvenation treatments for his patients in Baltimore and Annapolis who suffer from cystic acne and acne-related symptoms. We are thrilled to introduce the Fotona Dynamis laser machine as a new service at our Glen Burnie office for patients who are seeking relief from acne and acne scarring.

Improvements in the condition of the skin can be seen in about a week, with gradual improvements over a few weeks. People with aggressive forms of acne usually require a series of treatments with a prescribed skincare regimen to improve the overall general health of the skin from the inside out.

If you suffer from active acne, cystic acne or other forms of inflammation in the skin, then scheduling a consultation with clinic is your first step in successfully treating your acne with the Fotona Dynamis laser system.

Is Laser Active Acne Scar Removal Treatment Permanent?

Effects of laser scar removal are long-lasting. Because of the nature of skin, we cannot guarantee permanent effects. As skin ages and production of collagen and elastin diminishes, old scars may become more prominent.

How Long Fotona Laser Active Acne Treatment Take?

This process is very quick and straightforward. You will only spend between 15 and 20 minutes being treated. For optimal results 3-5 sessions required. Sessions can be scheduled between 7 days apart. The speed of recovery for laser scar removal depends on several factors. Age is an important consideration, as is the area being treated. 

There is no downtime after the Fotona Laser Active Acne Treatment and you can continue your regular daily activities right after treatment. Patients may experience some mild redness & swelling that only lasts one or two days.
