Acne Laser Treatment
At Palo Alto Dermatology Institute, we are proud to offer the latest in advanced acne treatment technology with the TheraClearX laser. This innovative device combines light-based therapy and vacuum technology to target the underlying causes of acne, delivering effective, fast-acting results for clearer skin.
The TheraClearX laser is a cutting-edge dermatological device designed specifically for the treatment of acne. It uses a combination of broad-spectrum light and gentle suction to address acne at its source. The light therapy eliminates acne-causing bacteria while reducing inflammation, and the vacuum technology removes oil, debris, and dead skin cells from clogged pores. This dual-action approach makes the TheraClearX an effective solution for patients seeking a non-invasive treatment option for acne-prone skin.
The TheraClearX laser is FDA-cleared to treat various types of acne, including:
- Inflammatory Acne: Red, swollen blemishes often caused by clogged pores and bacterial overgrowth.
- Comedonal Acne: Blackheads and whiteheads that result from trapped oil and dead skin cells.
- Mild to Moderate Acne Scarring: The device can improve the skin’s texture by reducing the appearance of post-acne marks.
In addition to treating active acne, TheraClearX therapy can help reduce redness and inflammation, giving the skin a smoother and more balanced appearance.
TheraClearX is suitable for most individuals with mild to moderate acne who are looking for an alternative to oral medications or topical treatments. It is particularly beneficial for those who have:
- Not responded well to other acne treatments.
- Sensitive skin that is easily irritated by traditional topical products.
- Concerns about the side effects of oral medications like antibiotics or isotretinoin.
Our team at Palo Alto Dermatology Institute will assess your skin during a consultation to determine if TheraClearX is the right choice for your acne concerns.
A TheraClearX session is quick, painless, and typically lasts about 30 minutes. During the procedure:
- Cleansing: Your skin is cleansed to prepare the treatment area.
- Vacuum Technology: The TheraClearX device gently suctions away oil, debris, and bacteria from your pores, unclogging them and reducing the risk of future breakouts.
- Light Therapy: A broad-spectrum light is applied to the skin to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation.
The treatment is safe for all skin types and does not require the use of numbing creams. A series of treatments are typically needed to ensure the best outcome.
There is little to no downtime with TheraClearX laser treatment. After the procedure, patients may experience mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, which typically resolves within a few hours. You can return to your daily activities immediately following the treatment.
Results are often noticeable after just a few sessions, with significant improvement seen after a series of treatments spaced one to two weeks apart. For optimal results, we recommend combining TheraClearX with a customized skincare regimen tailored to your skin type and acne severity.
