Acne - Lutronic United States

What is Acne?

Acne, formally known as Acne vulgaris, is one of the most commonly faced skin conditions. In essence, clogged pores and an overgrowth of the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes, which occurs naturally, cause acne. Varying in size, shape, frequency, and intensity, acne can come in multiple forms, like blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pimples, and cysts.

More than skin deep, acne primarily originates from hormonal imbalances, especially spikes in testosterone. That’s why teenagers during puberty and women around their menstrual cycles often battle breakouts. Stress can exacerbate these hormonal shifts, fueling further outbreaks. Genetics, too, can predispose you to acne. Both acne and scarring caused by severe cases can mar not only your skin but also your quality of life, thanks to the societal stigma often attached to these conditions.

Treatment Options

Doctor-prescribed topical solutions and cleansers
Chemical peels

Light treatments, such as LLLT (Low-Level Light Therapy) and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

Common Questions Answered:

Most patients report very little discomfort. They describe the treatment sensation as a warm prickly feeling, with a rapid snapping sound while the laser delivers energy to the skin. Typically, no anesthesia or topical is needed as the treatment is extremely tolerable, even for patients with sensitivity to discomfort.

The number of sessions depends on the severity of your acne and the specific treatment your doctor recommends. Together, you'll craft a plan that aligns with your unique needs.

With virtually no downtime, most patients resume regular activities right away. Some might notice mild redness, but this usually dissipates within hours. You can safely apply moisturizer and makeup immediately after an AcnePeel session.

While there is no current cure for acne, a broad spectrum of treatments can manage and significantly minimize both current and future outbreaks, as well as scarring. For the best, longest-lasting results, combination therapies and adhering to an at-home skincare routine are highly recommended. Effectiveness varies by individual and treatment type, but your skincare specialist will guide you toward a treatment and maintenance plan that is right for you.

Fractional skin resurfacing has dramatically changed the way physicians approach skin resurfacing and wrinkle reduction. It works by creating tiny micro-wounds while leaving bridges of untreated skin, thus treating only a fraction of the skin’s surface, minimizing discomfort and healing time. eCO2 diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, scars and brown spots while enhancing pigmented and vascular conditions – yielding firmer, smoother skin.

Fractional resurfacing suits patients seeking skin repair and wrinkle reduction. It effectively reduces imperfections, promotes collagen regeneration, and restores a youthful appearance, tone, and color.

Your physician will discuss your treatment needs with you during your consult. The results will vary depending on your age, degree of sun damage and skin type, as well as what parameters your physician uses. However, patients who have had the eCO2 procedure, report significant changes in only a single treatment.

Lutronic Hollywood Spectra is the world’s leading and most advanced ultra-short pulse 1064/532nm laser platform with proprietary capabilities to reduce unwanted skin pigmentation and help stimulate collagen. Its intelligent and user-friendly design enables practitioners to lighten and brighten patient complexions, remove multi-color tattoos, and uniquely perform the popular Hollywood Laser Peel.

The Hollywood Spectra laser platform works together with patented carbon lotion to reduce active acne and improve the skins appearance. Topically applied carbon lotion seeps into the pores to create a better target for the laser energy. The sub-millisecond Spectra mode treatment gently warms the skin surface binding the carbon particles to pore openings and the skins outer layer. Finally, the 5 ns pulsewidth is used to remove the carbon particles and exfoliate your skin – opening clogged pores, reducing sebum level, lightening and brightening the complexion. In addition, the Hollywood Laser Peel® treatment creates a fresh skin luminescence that lasts for several weeks.
