Acne Laser Treatment utilizes the Fractional Pixel Laser technology to target acne breakout areas and reduce acne scars while promoting healthy cell turnover.
The laser Pixel technology targets only small segments of the total skin mosiac, leaving uninjured skin areas to facilitate rapid wound healing. In other words, only a fraction of the target area – not the entire surface area – is damaged. The pain level is minimal, and under normal conditions, unless requested by the patient, no local anesthetic is usually used.
Possible Short-Term Effects of Laser Pixel Fractional Ablative Skin Resurfacing:
8. Skin Hyperpigmentation – Transient hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin), especially in darker – skinned people, occurring three to eight weeks after laser therapy
9. Skin Hypopigmentation – Hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin), which occurs because of laser-induced injury to the melanocytes (pigment containing cells in the skin) and which can be permanent.
Pre Treatment:
Do not tan the areas to be treated for 4 weeks prior to treatment.
All lotions and potions you are using must be discussed and cleared in your consultation prior to treatments. In addition, all medications must be disclosed and discussed.
Pigmented lesions will not be treated.
A topical anesthetic may be used if you are especially sensitive to the treatment.
Treatment area should be free of perfume, makeup, and lotions.
Post treatment (for more detailed instructions review your post treatment instructions or you can call the office for a copy):
Days 1-3 or while the skin is still sensitive to the touch- your skin will be red similar to a sunburn, and may appear blotchy as some areas may have been treated more aggressively than others and could be swollen or puffy. Wash with cool water only as needed, apply as much organic almond oil or organic aloe vera as you like to sooth the skin, do not use a moisturizer as it will prevent the skin from flaking and peeling for best results. Apply sunscreen regularly and avoid as much sunlight as possible.
Days 3-7 or once the sensitivity has subsided and skin is flaky: Any redness and blotchy areas will be subsiding and your skin may appear more taut and shiny than usual. You are still healing, so do not stop applying sunscreen and avoiding sunlight to allow the skin to heal properly. You may wash your skin in the morning and at night using cool water and a gentle cleanser such as Vivite Replenish Hydrating Cleanser.
Days 7-10: You may resume using Vivite products or products containing Glycolic Acid or bleaching cream. You may also resume using a light exfoliator, such as Vivite Exfoliating Cleanser to remove any "flaky" skin. Once the skin is done flaking you may resume your regular skin care routine. For optimum results, schedule a Diamond Microdermabrasion 2 weeks post treatment.
