Acne Laser Treatments Houston and Webster, TX

What Really Causes Acne

It’s all due to a certain type of bacteria, p. acnes, in your skin; your pores contain a gland called the sebaceous gland, which secretes an oily substance called sebum. If too much sebum accumulates, dead skin and oil can plug the pore. The p. acnes then accumulate, leading to an infection, inflammation, and ultimately, the formation of acne.

The AeroLase Laser Acne Treatment

M Spa Face and Body is proud to offer one of the most state-of-the-art laser systems for acne treatment. Our Aerolase laser system delivers a high-energy 1064nm wavelength laser in pulses of 650 microseconds, allowing you to have a powerful treatment that’s still gentle enough to work on all skin types.

Because of its immense power and speed, the Aerolase laser system can specifically target the small vessels that surround the sebaceous gland, which is where acne bacteria thrive. That heat energy then destroys that bacteria, allowing the Aerolase laser to address the root causes of acne and create long-term results.

Our laser acne treatment can also target the hair shaft and hair follicles around the areas susceptible to acne, allowing the laser acne treatment to reduce the amount of sebum in the hair pores, and in turn, helping reduce the formation of acne.

With the AeroLase laser system, our patient can lie back and enjoy a gentle laser acne treatment with no downtime and no long recovery period.

Webster Acne Laser Treatment FAQs

Take a look at our FAQs on this popular procedure, then schedule your consultation to meet with our experts one on one. 

Thanks to its innovative technology, Aerolase acne laser treatment is an easy, pain-free process. During your treatment session, you may feel a very mild source of heat as the laser is applied to the treatment area. Depending on your skin type, the severity of your acne, and where you’re being treated, Aerolase acne treatment sessions typically last between 20 to 30 minutes.  

You may experience some slight redness after a treatment, but this usually dissipates within several hours. Patients can squeeze in treatment sessions during their busy schedules without having to worry about lengthy recovery post-procedure.

Like many other facial laser treatments, the results depend on factors including the severity of your skin condition and your skin’s reaction to the treatment. We recommend patients undergo between four to six treatment sessions for the best results. During your consultation, our Webster facial specialists will work with you to create a personalized treatment strategy.

Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for acne. Patients should expect to return for maintenance treatments every few months in order to keep acne-causing bacteria at bay. However, these subsequent treatments may provide more noticeable improvements sooner than initial treatments. To maximize your results, our specialists may also offer a personalized at-home skin care regimen. Following this and other recommendations can help keep skin clear and beautiful in between touch-up visits.

Yes! Another reason M Spa Face & Body’s patients love Aerolase is because of the technology’s ability to lessen the appearance of old scars. By stimulating the skin’s natural healing response, new skin cells develop in the craters left by old acne breakouts. This helps provide smooth skin and an even skin tone, improving your overall appearance and self-confidence.
