Laser for Acne
Advanced laser therapy to kill acne bacteria, reduce oil production, and clear stubborn breakouts
Advanced laser therapy to kill acne bacteria, reduce oil production, and clear stubborn breakouts
When topical treatments and facials aren't enough, laser therapy offers a powerful solution for stubborn acne. Laser acne treatment uses targeted light energy to kill acne-causing bacteria, reduce oil production, and decrease inflammation - addressing the root causes of breakouts.
At MedBeautyLA, we use the advanced Stellar M22 laser system to treat active acne, prevent future breakouts, and improve overall skin texture. It's particularly effective for cystic acne, hormonal acne, and acne that hasn't responded to other treatments.
The laser delivers specific wavelengths of light that penetrate deep into the skin to:

Clearer skin with fewer breakouts
Most patients describe a warm, tingling sensation or mild snapping feeling. It's generally well-tolerated without numbing. Any discomfort is brief and worth it for the results!
Most patients need 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart for optimal results. Severe acne may require additional sessions, while mild acne may improve with fewer treatments.
Minimal! You may have mild redness for a few hours after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF.
Many patients notice less oily skin within days. Reduction in breakouts typically becomes visible within 2-4 weeks, with continued improvement throughout the treatment series and for months after.
While laser acne treatment primarily targets active breakouts, it can provide mild improvement in texture and shallow scars. For significant acne scarring, we recommend dedicated scar treatments like microneedling or fractional laser resurfacing.
Laser treatment provides long-lasting improvement, but acne is a chronic condition. Most patients see dramatic reduction in breakouts that lasts 6-12 months or longer. Maintenance treatments and good skincare help extend results.
