Acne & Skin Treatments — In Depth

Our Approach to Acne

At Laser Aesthetics, we target acne at its source with advanced, non-invasive light-based treatments designed to clear skin and restore confidence.

All treatments are performed by Registered Nurses under medical supervision. Our approach is suitable for teens and adults with mild to moderate inflammatory acne, and can complement care from a dermatologist.

Our treatments are a proven alternative to antibiotics and harsh medications.

BLU-U Blue Light Therapy

BLU-U therapy uses blue light (400–450 nm wavelengths) to directly target Cutibacterium acnes — the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne. Sessions last approximately 20 minutes.

Recommended regimen: 1–2 sessions per week for 5 weeks (5–10 total sessions).

BLU-U also helps with:

  • Inflammatory and persistent acne
  • Acne scarring (promotes skin healing)
  • Enlarged pores and excess oil production
  • Rosacea and redness

No pain, no needles. Virtually no downtime — clients return to work, school, or the gym immediately after each 20-minute session.

Not suitable if: pregnant/nursing, taking Accutane, using photosensitizing medications, or prone to light sensitivity.

Impulse Light Therapy (IPL)

Impulse Light Therapy (IPL) complements BLU-U by targeting surface redness, inflammation, and excess oil production using controlled wavelengths of light. Together, these treatments improve acne without the side effects of long-term medications.

Treatment Timeline

Most clients start with 1–2 BLU-U or IPL sessions per week for 4–6 weeks.

Many notice fewer active breakouts and calmer skin within the first few weeks. Continued improvements are seen over time.

Because acne is a chronic condition, some clients choose maintenance sessions every few months, supported by a customized at-home skincare regimen using medical-grade products.

Acne Severity Levels
  • Blackheads: Mild — small, dark spots on the skin
  • Whiteheads: Small, white bumps from clogged pores
  • Papules & Pustules: Moderate — small red bumps and pus-filled spots
  • Cysts & Nodules: Severe — large, painful lumps beneath the skin

Whether your acne is mild or severe, our team is here to guide you toward clearer, healthier skin.

Pixel Laser for Acne Scarring

For those dealing with acne scarring, Pixel Laser Resurfacing promotes collagen production and skin renewal — reducing the appearance of scars and improving overall skin texture. Ask about this treatment at your consultation.

Medical-Grade Skincare

We carry Vivier Skin (pharmaceutical-grade) and Glo Skin Beauty products, which can complement in-clinic treatments for better, longer-lasting results.
