Men: Active Acne Treatment: Face

ACNE

Acne, also known as pimples, affects about 85% of adults and can be painful and embarrassing. It is primarily caused by the overproduction of oil (sebum) in the skin, which begins around puberty. Sebum and dead skin cells can accumulate and clog pores, leading to blemishes. Bacteria thrive in these clogged pores, causing inflammation and acne. Whiteheads form when sebum and bacteria stay below the skin's surface, while blackheads occur when they partially open and oxidize. Acne commonly affects the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and upper back.

TREATMENT

Fotona, a state-of-the-art medical-grade device, effectively treats persistent active or cystic acne using two wavelengths: Nd and Er lasers. This treatment closes pores, reduces bacteria, and boosts collagen production, providing facial resurfacing with minimal downtime. Active acne laser treatments are becoming popular due to their quick, effective results and lack of downtime.

A series of 6-8 sessions is recommended, with each treatment lasting about 30 minutes and causing no pain. Treatments are typically scheduled every 2 weeks.
