Active Acne

How Does Our Laser Acne Treatment Work?

The Nd:YAG laser is a powerful tool for treating mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. It works by:

• Targeting Bacteria: The laser energy selectively targets the affected areas, destroying acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation.
• Reducing Sebum Production: The laser precisely targets overactive sebaceous glands, helping to regulate oil production and prevent future breakouts.
• Minimizing Scarring: Laser treatment can also improve the appearance of existing acne scars.

At Vancouver Medi Spa, we understand the importance of proper post-laser acne treatment care. Here’s how to ensure optimal healing and beautiful results:

Post-Treatment Care:

• Moisturization: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and promote healing. If irritation occurs, a simple moisturizer might be sufficient.
• Sun Protection: SPF is crucial! Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily (SPF 30 or higher) and avoid direct sunlight during the healing process.
• Minimize Makeup: While makeup can cover slight redness, it’s best to minimize its use in the first few days to allow your skin to breathe.
• Ice Therapy: Gently applying ice packs can reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Avoid Harsh Products: Steer clear of harsh skincare products, scrubs, and abrasive treatments for at least five days post-treatment.

Potential Side Effects:

It’s important to be aware of potential side effects, although most are mild and temporary:

• Redness: Mild redness is common and usually resolves within a few days. Makeup can be used to camouflage it.
• Pigmentation Changes: Slight lightening or darkening of the treated area may occur. This typically resolves on its own within 3-6 months.
• Infection: While rare, bacterial, fungal, or viral infections can happen after deep ablative laser treatments.
• Scarring: Scarring is uncommon, but there’s a slight risk of hypertrophic (raised) or atrophic (depressed) scars.
• Delayed Healing: In rare cases, healing may be delayed or persistent ulcers may develop.
• Burns: Superficial burns, sometimes with blistering, can occur.
