How Many Treatments Do I Need?

On average our patients require 2 to 3 treatments to treat acne and 4-6 treatments to remove their unwanted acne scars. Treatments are usually separated 3 to 6 weeks apart. Laser acne scar removal treatments are very short and usually last about 45 to 60 minutes in length.

What Areas Can I Treat?

The most common areas for acne treatment are the face, chest, back, and arms, but any area on your body that has acne can be treated.

What is Acne?

If you have acne, you're far from alone. By the age of 24, more than 90 percent of all adolescents and young adults will have had acne at one time or another – and up to 50 percent of all adults will experience acne after they turn 25. Although it is one of the world's most common skin ailments, it is also one of the most misunderstood. For example, acne is not caused by eating greasy foods or chocolate, or because of poor hygiene. Instead, it develops when the skin's sebaceous glands make extra oil, or sebum – a natural response to the hormone imbalances common in young adults.
When this happens, the excess oil combines with skin cells and clogs your pores. Factor in the normal skin bacteria that lives in pores, and you've got a recipe for inflammation and redness – in other words, acne. A number of other factors, including pollution, wearing headbands and helmets, and stress can cause or aggravate the condition.

Unfortunately, skin medications and antibiotic therapy are not always successful in treating moderate to severe acne – a situation that can be extremely frustrating. The good news is that researchers have identified a safe, painless way to diminish P. acnies, the most common bacteria responsible for 80 percent of the acne found in teens and young adults.

Acne Vulgaris

is the term for pimples and complexion problems that trouble many young people. Pimples occur mainly on the face, but they may often involve the neck, chest, back, and upper arms. Acne is only a skin problem and has nothing to do with your general health.

What causes acne?

Acne is caused by the oil glands in the skin breaking open. At adolescence, the oil glands in the skin start producing an oily material called sebum. Sebum is discharged under the skin surface. Sometimes the wall of the oil gland breaks and spills the sebum within the skin. The sebum irritates the skin tissues and causes redness and swelling, in other words, a pimple. Complicating this picture are plugged oil glands. These are commonly known as blackheads and whiteheads. Blackheads are not caused by dirt. Removing blackheads will prevent pimples. Topical medicines that contain vitamin A products (like Retin-A, Differin, and Tazorac) are agents that are particularly effective in treating whiteheads and blackheads. The medical term for blackheads is open comedones and the medical term for whiteheads is closed comedones. In mild acne, only a few oil glands break open. In severe acne, many break open. How easily oil glands do this seems to be the result of genetics. Acne runs in families. It is impossible to prevent acne, since there is no way to change the way oil glands act in the skin and what the tendency is to form clogged pores.

Age and acne

Acne usually begins in a mild form in the teen years. It gradually worsens and after a time improves. How long you have acne is impossible to predict. Acne gets worse and improves by itself. There is usually no explanation for these ups and downs. Do not assume that because your acne gets worse you have done something wrong. And, if you acne gets better briefly, it may not have happened because of anything you have done recently. In women, acne frequently worsens about the time of their menstrual cycle.

Skin hygiene

Dirt does not cause acne, despite what you may have been told. The oil on the skin surface does no harm. Special soaps, astringents, abrasives, and acne cleansers are a waste of money. Your face should be washed with a gentle nondetergent cleansing bar and plain water only as much as you need to keep it clean. Too much washing and scrubbing of the skin can cause irritation and make the acne situation much worse. Although some think cleanliness may be next to godliness, it does not help acne. Do not pick, squeeze, or otherwise manipulate your pimples, as this can cause long-term scars.

Who Can Benefit From Laser Acne Treatment?

Laser Acne Treatment benefits anyone suffering with mild to moderate inflammatory acne caused by P. acnies bacteria. Ask Dr. Hanna if you're a candidate for this treatment.

How does the treatment work?

Laser acne scar removal can help remove these unwanted acne scars. Laser acne scar removal can be treated on patients of all skin types giving everybody the option to remove unwanted acne scars. La Nouvelle Medical Spa is one of the leading laser centers of Southern California. Our patients report great success with the removal of their unwanted acne scars through our advanced lasers and master level of our staff.

Our lasers are FDA approved to treat any skin type while rarely causing any burns or scars to occur. Laser acne scar removal at La Nouvelle Medical Spa involves the use of the most advanced way to remove unwanted acne scars. During the procedure the laser penetrates deep into the dermis to help diminish the damaged skin. This ensures that all areas of damaged skin are being covered to generate excellent results. During the laser acne scar removal treatment the laser will emit high pulses of light to target these damaged areas. The laser will help to peel away the top layer of skin and stimulate collagen growth to ensure the skin that comes back is completely healed.

It is recommended that patients arrive an hour early before the treatment to apply a topical cream to help numb the areas being treated to give the patient the most comfort as possible during the treatments. We recommend for our patinets to meet with Dr. Hanna before the treatments to make sure they are a good candidate for laser acne scar removal as well as in case Dr. Hanna needs to prescribe any medication that might be needed for the treatments.

La Nouvelle Medical Spa provides a warm atmosphere that makes the patients feel relaxed and secure with their laser acne scar removal treatments. Contact us today for your laser acne scar removal consultation to get the process started and to finally remove your unwanted acne scars.
