Acne Facial TREATMENTS

Acne Facials

Le t’s Be Clear!

My customized 75 minute Acne Facial includes15 minutes of Photobiomodulation to help resolve acne lesions. The facial concludes with Lightwave LED Blue Light Therapy to eliminate the P. Acnes bacteria that causes acne after your Microdermabrasion Facial.

This advanced cosmetic procedure is used to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of the skin and reduce inflammation. It works by gently exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells, and stimulating collagen production, while also killing the bacteria that causes acne.

One of the great things about microdermabrasion and acne facial treatment is that you will have little to no downtime afterwards.

Microdermabrasion & LED Light Therapy acne facials work by gently exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells, and stimulating collagen production. LED Light Therapy targets the cause of acne and helps heal skin. With a series of weekly or bi-weekly treatments, lasting results can be achieved.

What To Expect

This treatment is painless and there is no down time. You will notice immediate results. A series of Acne Facials are needed to bring deeper transformation to acne prone skin. And people say it’s worth doing!

Your facial begins with steam and deep cleansing, with thorough, yet gentle, extractions. Microdermabrasion follows as I target your skin with varied amounts of exfoliation. This enables me to focus the resurfacing power of dermabrasion to reduce areas of mild scarring.

It is generally safe for most skin types and I customize your treatment according to your individual needs and preferences. For very inflamed/pustular skin I recommend a Microdermabrasion Facial with Topical Light Infusion Treatment (Blemish Control) to improve acne lesions dramatically.

Most people notice that their skin is glowing and smoother following Microdermabrasion Acne Facials. Over the course of a series of microdermabrasion treatments, acne outbreaks can be diminished, pore size, mild acne scars, and pigment discolorations reduced. Skin looks healthier, brighter, with smoother texture as collagen rebuilds, giving lasting results.

I recommend an initial series of 6-8 treatments, 2 weeks apart, followed by monthly maintenance treatments. For boosted results, consider combining add-on treatments like LED Red Light Therapy with Topical Light Infusion Treatments For Acne.

Scientific Studies

A Deeper Dive

LightWave Skin Transforming Treatments

In the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy, high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) utilizing specific, proven wavelengths of light can trigger a natural biostimulatory effect in human tissue.

Research has shown that LED light therapy can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone, texture and clarity, decrease under eye wrinkles as well as ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm, and pain associated with arthritis.

Research indicates that cells absorb particles of light (photons) and transform their energy into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the form of energy that cells utilize. The resulting elevation of ATP is then used to power metabolic processes; synthesize DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, and other products needed to repair or regenerate cell components; foster mitosis or cell proliferation; and restore homeostasis.

Simply put, the LED light source provides compromised cells with added energy so the cells performance is enhanced. For example, fibroblast cells will increase collagen and elastin production in connective tissue to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in our skin and increase the rate of wound healing.
