Laser Acne Treatments Newport Beach

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin glands and hair follicles usually found in adolescents. Characterized by black- and whiteheads, pustules, and nodules, acne develops in the sebaceous glands and is most apparent in areas where these glands are most numerous – such as the face, neck, chest, back, and upper arms.
Normally, the sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance called sebum onto hair follicles, which is brought up to the surface of the skin along the hair shaft, or, in hairless areas, through ducts. In the case of acne, sebum clogs the pores and bacteria begins to develop, leading to the development of acne.

Newport Dermatology & Laser Associates offers laser acne treatments in the Newport Beach area. Newport Dermatology & Laser offers Photodynamic Acne Treatment, a process by which a photosensitizing agent (Levulan) is applied to the skin & then activated with light. PDT Acne treatment provides a viable alternative for all types of acne treatment.

California Mesotherapy & Laser Institute also uses Photodynamic Therapy to treat acne. Advantages of Photodynamic Acne Treatments include rapid treatment of acne lesions, no scarring & no systemic side effects.

South Coast Med Spa offers laser acne treatment with the ThermaScan laser. The ThermaScan 1319 Nm:Yag is the ideal wavelength to treat acne conditions. ThermaScan works by heating the sebaceous glands in the dermis of the skin leading to a reduction of oil production. Repeated treatments lead to an observable reduction in active acne in 2 to 4 weeks.

Finally, Degam Medical Spa also offers laser acne treatments in the Newport Beach area. Degam offers the Blu-U Acne light treatment which utilizes a special blue spectrum light to kill the bacteria that causes acne.
