Which Acne Treatments Work Best?

Acne is a very complex skin condition to have and can occur at any stage of life. Whether you are in your teens, 20s, 30s, or 40s+, trying to prevent and treat acne (at any age) can be a very frustrating and emotionally draining experience. If you feel like you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to be working, it might be time to take your acne treatment to the next level with laser therapy for a more powerful approach.

Over the last decade Lasers, Micro-Needling with Radiofrequency, and Blu-U Light Therapy acne treatments have become incredibly popular and increasingly powerful for treating mild, moderate, and in some cases, severe acne.

Blu-U Light Therapy works to clear skin by killing active acne bacteria and lessening inflammation. Lasers and Micro-Needling with Radiofrequency, and one of our most popular Acne Treatments AviClear, work in a similar fashion by reducing active bacteria, shrinking pores, reducing redness, and stimulating the production of new collagen.

We believe that setting proper expectations is key to successful acne treatments. As you go through the different stages of your acne treatment plan, it’s important to understand that your skin may get worse before it gets better. It’s a process. Your skin will gradually improve over time. Acne is a complex skin condition that can take anywhere from a few months to a few years to treat. For some patients, it’s a lifetime of proactive management.

    Fractora Acne Treatment

    Fractora is fractional skin resurfacing by a micro-needling technique that delivers radiofrequency energy through various depths of the skin using tiny pin electrodes. This treatment creates microlesion areas of ablation, coagulation, and heating that causes contraction of the skin. As your skin heals, your complexion becomes smoother with fewer acne spots and breakouts. The tone and texture of your skin will also become smoother over time with less visible acne scars for a brighter, healthier, smoother, complexion.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Dermapen Micro-Needling

    Micro-needling devices are used to improve overall texture of skin. Patients see improvements in mild to moderate acne scarring, large pores, and fine lines.

    A topical numbing is used to reduce the sensation of the treatment. Most patients tolerate the treatment very well. Sometimes a prickling sensation is reported.

    Micro-needling has been vigorously studied and has been proven to induce collagen growth. In turn and over time, this collagen growth is what improves textural concerns of the skin.

    Dermapen has minimal downtime, about 3-4 days for most people. Some redness and minor skin flaking is normal. Side effects are quite minimal and micro needling is safe for all skin types.

    At The First Glance we have several packages that combine micro needling with other treatments such as chemical peels which allow us to customize a treatment specifically for you and your concerns.

    Acne Treatments are often performed with other non-surgical treatments, including Botox and injectable Filler treatments, including Lip Filler, Under Eye Filler, Jaw Contouring, Chin Filler, Top Model Cheekbones, Non Surgical Rhinoplasty, Belkyra Double Chin Fat Removal, and Skin Boosters.
