Acne Treatment
Jump To
Acne is a disease of the sebaceous glands of the skin. It is caused by clogged pores, increased sebum production and the presence of bacteria. This leads to thickening or inflammation of the lining of the follicle, which results in different levels of acne including:
- mild acne known as blackheads and whiteheads
- semi-severe acne involving inflammatory papules and pustules
- severe acne known as nodules and cysts, which can lead to acne scarring
AlluraDerm MD Med Spa Acne Care involves the use of the Omnilux™ light and/or Fotona Laser technology. This technology combined with the latest physician-only cosmeceuticals, provides you with a state-of-the-art acne care program second to none. Think of it as an Albuquerque acne facial that is more effective than topical treatments alone.
Here’s how our Albuquerque acne facials work. To treat acne where it begins, the revolutionary Fotona laser uses a patented optical modality to penetrate the skin’s layers to the depth where sebaceous glands are located. The laser thermally alters the reactors in the sebaceous gland thereby reducing the size of the gland, reducing oil and bacteria production, and subsequently the number of resulting acne lesions. It also reduces the risk of developing new acne inflammation and future acne scars. Many patients respond to Fotona laser treatments even when results from other kinds of treatment are minimal or unsuccessful.
Another proven approach to treating acne is Omnilux™ light therapy. The Omnilux™ blue light kills acne-producing bacteria while the red light turns off the inflammatory cascade. The lights won’t damage your skin and there’s no pain!
