Acne
At The Med Spa at Vision Dermatology we offer a multitude of treatment options and combinations to address mild to cystic acne. While most clients may benefit from one of our advanced skin care topical product lines, we offer unique treatments such as blue light therapy and mild chemical peels.
Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin condition characterized by the development of comedones, papules, and pustules. In serious cases, nodules and deep pustules as well as cysts may also develop. Acne vulgaris can lead to substantial social and psychological problems including reduced self-esteem, heightened anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Traditional clinical treatments include antibiotics and isotretinoin (acutane), but these can be limited in their usefulness and acceptability. Furthermore, treatments are often difficult and inconvenient to use, time-consuming, and can be expensive, and, because post-treatment relapse is common; compliance may be poor.
Sebaceous glands and Cuticobacterium acnes bacteria are central to the development of acne. Successful treatment modalities typically must effectively decrease the quantity and output from sebaceous glands and eliminate the bacteria which culture within the oily sebum and ultimately form acne lesions.
At The Med Spa at Vision Dermatology we offer a multitude of treatment options and combinations to address mild to cystic acne. While most clients may benefit from one of our advanced skin care topical product lines, we offer unique treatments such as blue light therapy, which directly targets the layer of the skin that harbor acne-causing bacteria kill them. Mild chemical peels can be effective at decreasing sebum production and killing bacteria as well.
Many clients with moderate to severe acne can benefit from treatment with Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light(IPL). IPL is a gentle treatment that addresses both the p.acne bacteria, as well as the pigmentation and redness of acne prone skin. The ability of IPl to reduce pore size and cause some ablation and reduction in sebacsous glands provides added treatment benefit.
Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) has been proven to effectively treat active cystic acne and the scars which may result. By utilizing the most advanced microneedling with RF machine in the industry (the Morpheus8), studies have shown that RF reduces sebum production through the selective electrothermolytic destruction of sebaceous glands wherein the glands are subsequently replaced by fibrosis, leading to dermal contraction and result in skin tightening and pore size reduction. The high heat employed with RF energy further destroys the bacteria causing acne and thus the treatment provides comprehensive action.
