Diverse Approaches
to Beautiful Outcomes

Treating Active Acne TREATMENT OPTIONS

XLV+

The Cutera Excel V+ is an FDA-approved device that targets the bacteria, P. acnes, that is responsible for acne breakouts. It is proven to even improve severe acne conditions. The heat from the laser will cause the bacteria found in acne to not be able to survive, eliminating a significant source of acne. The laser procedure also reduces oil production to minimize breakouts even after your treatment. While the laser is a powerful way to eliminate acne, it does not harm surrounding skin and tissue. As an added bonus, the heat delivered by the laser will stimulate skin renewal and in turn, enhance the appearance of your skin overall.

AquaGold

AquaGold Fine Touch is a microchanneling treatment that can be highly beneficial for acne-prone skin. By delivering a customized cocktail of ingredients directed into the dermis, it targets several acne triggers at once. The microneedles also create micro-channels that stimulate collagen, improve superficial acne scars, shrink pores, and reduce redness, all with minimal to no downtime.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Anyone who is dealing with acne-prone skin can benefit from this treatment. Regardless of your age and/or the severity of your breakout, we can tailor this treatment to help you get your skin under control, leaving you more confident and refreshed!
