What is Acne?

Acne is a disease in which the hair in the follicle, skin cells, and sebum (an oily, waxy substance secreted by the oil glands in the skin) clump together and create a plug. As bacteria grows under the skin, unable to be naturally expelled through the follicle, the area swells and a pimple is produced. There are several different types of pimples, and many people with acne have one or more of these blemishes.

They include whiteheads, blackheads, small pink bumps (papules), pustules, nodules (deep skin pimples) and cysts. A severe case of acne often leaves the skin with visible scars and discolored areas. People of all racial backgrounds and ages can suffer from acne, but the largest percentage of people with acne are between 11 and 30. Genetics plays a role in the development of acne.

"I've Tried Everything..."

Many people have tried every product on the market, hoping that the acne will finally disappear. It can be very disappointing to use these heavily advertised products and see little to no difference, or have acne improve for a short period and then return, full force. If you have acne or had acne and were left with scars, our team at NassifMD® MedSpa can help with our effective acne and acne scar removal in Los Angeles.

Acne is an inflammatory condition, and an application with our vascular laser may be one part of a custom treatment plan. We can also treat difficult skin pigmentation issues. As acne scars are often darker in color, a carefully selected treatment can reduce the appearance of the darkened or reddened areas. It is important that your skin is treated very carefully and correctly to achieve positive results.

Treating Acne Scars: Custom Treatment Plans

At NassifMD Med Spa, addressing acne scars begins with a comprehensive assessment of your skin type, scar severity, and aesthetic goals. The first thing to know is that something effective can be done to improve the appearance and health of your skin. Treatment plans are carefully tailored and may include a combination of cutting-edge procedures:

Fractional Laser Resurfacing: State-of-the-art lasers, such as CO2 or erbium lasers, remove damaged layers of skin while stimulating collagen production to improve skin texture and diminish the depth of scars.
Microneedling with RF: Combining traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy enhances skin rejuvenation by promoting deeper collagen remodeling, effectively targeting rolling and atrophic scars.
Chemical Peels: A series of medical-grade peels can exfoliate the outer skin layers and reduce discoloration associated with acne scars. This is especially effective for superficial scarring.
Injectable products: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers may be used to lift and smooth depressed scars, offering immediate results with minimal downtime.
HydraFacial: This multi-step treatment cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses the skin with nourishing serums to address clogged pores and uneven skin tone caused by acne. Its gentle yet effective approach makes it an excellent option for maintaining clear, hydrated and revitalized skin, reducing the appearance of superficial scars, and preventing future breakouts.

Your treatment plan may integrate these modalities to ensure the most comprehensive and effective approach. With expert care, you can achieve smoother, more even skin and regain confidence in your appearance. We invite you to visit our clinic and have a consultation about which treatment, or combination of treatments, will bring about the most dramatic changes in your facial skin.
