Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see clearer skin?
Every case is unique. While some patients see improvements after an initial session, lasting clarity often comes from a consistent treatment series over 3-4 months.
Are specific acne treatments painful?
Most are very tolerable. Laser therapies may feel like a rubber band snap, and extractions might cause slight pressure, but we prioritize your comfort.
Can you treat scars from old acne?
Yes! We have several modalities, including Laser Genesis and microneedling, specifically designed to smooth out texture and reduce the appearance of acne scarring.
Do I need to change my skincare routine?
We often recommend medical-grade products to support your in-clinic treatments. We'll help you build a simple, effective home routine.
