What acne solutions are available at the JCMG Laser & Vein Center?We offer a variety of products and services that can help you control the symptoms of acne or compliment your present acne therapy. This includes treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, cryotherapy and the Syneron elōs acne treatment. We also offer home care products that can be used alone or in combination with your present acne medications to control breakouts. Our initial consultation is complimentary and gives you the opportunity to explore the options that will work for you.
During an acne consultation you can expect to first receive a VISIA complexion analysis. This photo among other things measures the level of porophins which are evidence of the bacteria levels on your skin. After your analysis and medical history is obtained you will be offered recommendations based on your personal needs and preferences. There is no one size fits all treatment. Fighting acne is an ongoing battle and having a partner to help educate, monitor and make recommendations can go a long way towards helping you achieve a clear complexion. We may also suggest combining our services with JCMG Dermatology if your condition requires this. Our goal is to build a relationship with our acne patients and work with them on a continuing basis in order to achieve the best results possible.
We have many treatments that can help diminish the appearance of acne scarring. They include series of chemical peels or microderms and also our elōs acne treatments.
The elōs acne treatment uses a combination of radio frequency and light energies to effectively and gently resolve acne at its source. The combined energies target the sebaceous glands and acne bacteria. This reduces sebaceous gland activity while simultaneously destroying active acne. Treatment helps diminish active acne and speed the healing of existing acne. This can be an option for those wanting to avoid medication therapy.
Many of the products we offer can help you tolerate the prescriptions you are using to fight your acne. It is important that your skin not get excessively dry yet at the same time that you not use pore clogging products. Many prescriptions also increase your photo sensitivity and will require a sunscreen that will protect but again not make your acne worse. It is also important to practice proper cleansing without over stripping the skin. We offer multiple product options that will be custom selected to address your skin's condition. For women it is also important that you not undo the benefits of your skin care regimen by applying makeup that irritates your skin. Our Colorescience makeup is an excellent compliment to any acne regimen. It will not only avoid irritating your skin but can also include corrective products, sun protection and hydration. There are also many options to camouflage your acne while you are in the process of achieving clearer skin.
