Treating acne and acne scars means dealing with follicle inflammation and the pigmentation and depressed scars it leaves behind, layer by layer: light therapy suppresses sebaceous gland activity, while laser gradually clears the redness left after inflammation and the acne scars. We don’t pre-package combinations. At the in-person consultation, the doctor looks at how inflamed your face is and what type of scarring you have before deciding the area and number of sessions for this visit, and the person who examines your face is the same doctor who operates the device. If you keep breaking out in red, swollen, inflamed spots, it is better to control the inflammation first before talking about scar repair. If only shallow acne scars remain and your skin is already stable, you don’t necessarily need light therapy at all, and we would recommend a lighter approach to care.

How we do it hereAcne

Unit: PDT (photodynamic therapy) includes extraction and anti-inflammatory injections; laser is priced per full-face session
Time: For PDT, a photosensitizer is applied first and must be absorbed, so including the light exposure, plan for about 1.5–2 hours; extraction or anti-inflammatory injections alone take about 20–30 minutes
Pain: A warm, prickly, itchy feeling during the light exposure; extraction and anti-inflammatory injections hurt only briefly and usually need no numbing cream
Interval: PDT about once every 2–3 weeks, with results building over sessions; avoid light exposure for a few days after treatment
Recovery: You can wash your face and wear makeup 2–3 hours after extraction; avoid saunas and sweaty exercise for a week
