Fortunately, acne is one of the most common skin conditions treated here at Face Forward Medical Aesthetics in Lexington, MA. During your private consultation, we can create a customized treatment plan that targets your trouble zones and helps achieve the smooth, blemish-free complexion you desire.

Treatment

How is Acne Treated?

Face Forward Medical Aesthetics in Lexington, MA, offers advanced light-based acne treatments using Forever Clear BBL. Light therapy is an excellent potential solution. Although the exact science behind the treatment is poorly understood, several theories are proposed:

  • Blue light treatment is absorbed by porphyrins (biological pigments) inside the bacteria C. acnes, killing the bacteria that causes acne.
  • Red light also activates porphyrins and penetrates into the deeper skin layers.
  • Thermal damage is applied to the sebaceous glands, decreasing sebum production (which can clog pores).

Solutions for Active Acne

How Are Acne Scars Treated?

Scars that result from acne are often a permanent and unwelcome reminder of an original struggle with acne. These scars can be of two main varieties: skin depressions (depressed, atrophic,) or raised (hypertrophied, keloid) scars, sometimes called icepick scars. For minor acne scars, microneedling is an excellent solution.

For more significant acne scars, our state-of-the-art laser in Lexington, MA, offers acne scar treatment with advanced hybrid fractional skin resurfacing. This harnesses the skin’s amazing capacity for self-healing by creating thousands of micro punctures, inducing the skin to create more collagen and thus restructure the scar.

Microneedling

Microneedling works by creating tiny micro-punctures in the skin, jumpstarting the body’s innate healing response. With the growth of new collagen, acne scarring is reduced, and the overall appearance of the complexion is revitalized.
