What is Acne Laser?

Embark on a journey to clear skin with the transformative power of our Acne Laser. This non-invasive treatment harnesses the powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of blue light to effectively target and treat acne without causing further irritation.

Our laser therapy offers a quick and comfortable solution to regain control over your skin. Clear inflammatory acne without drugs or undesirable side effects.

How does Acne Laser Work?

Blue light therapy is widely considered a prescription-grade treatment to target stubborn acne without further irritation.

P. Acne bacteria (the main bacterium involved in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris) produces large amounts of intercellular porphyrins, the most abundant of which have a peak absorption at 415 nm. As our blue light laser therapy has wavelengths of 415–950 nm, this powerful treatment penetrates to the precise depth of the skin where acne-causing bacteria thrive.

Blue light excites these porphyrins, leading to the production of reactive oxygen species and subsequent bacterial destruction, without damaging surrounding tissue. Blue light also has anti-inflammatory effects through the modulation of cellular inflammatory mediators.

Indications for Acne Laser:

  • Active Acne (Papular and/or Pustular)
  • Congested Skin
  • Breakouts
  • Inflammation and Redness
  • Comedones

How many treatments do I need?

At The Vanity Lab, we do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to skincare. This is why we place such emphasis on the importance of an initial consultation. During this comprehensive consultation, our experts will gain insight into your preferences, concerns, lifestyle, goals and expectations as well as obtain precise and tangible measurements of your skin’s current condition so we can track your progress.

In doing so, they are then able to perfectly curate a bespoke skin health program tailored to your unique needs. Your program will not only include specific recommendations on how many treatments you will require and the ideal time intervals for them but will also include the best medical-grade home care products on the market to enhance and maintain your results

With the above information in mind, and as a general guideline, the acne laser treatment must be completed as a series for optimal results. We recommend a 6-8 week series of treatments, 1-2 times per week.

When will I see results?

Your skin may purge before showing signs of improvement. This is a normal part of the treatment process.

Typically, our patients see full visual results after the completion of a full course of treatment (6-8 weeks of acne laser therapy). To enhance results, we recommend combining acne laser with chemical peels, and a consistent medical-grade home care routine.
