Just like a fingerprint, everyone’s skin is a little different.

But unless you’re blessed with perfectly clear skin, there’s one thing we all have in common at some point or another — acne.

Often beginning in puberty, acne is a familiar problem that results in embarrassing spots, zits, pimples and other blemishes on the skin, negatively affecting your confidence and self-esteem. Both teenagers and adults can get acne, but it isn’t always easy to get rid of despite its prevalence. If you struggle with stubborn acne or breakouts and haven’t seen good results with creams, cleansers or prescribed acne medications, laser treatments at NorthCoast Laser MedSpa can help you achieve the smooth, clear skin you’ve always wanted in just a few weeks. Click here to view our gallery and see the skin-clearing benefits of our acne laser treatments for yourself, and keep reading to learn more.

What Causes Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition in which blackheads, whiteheads, cysts and other pimples form on the face and body. This happens when pores or hair follicles — which are small openings in the skin that allow sweat and oils to be released — become clogged. Each pore contains a sebaceous gland that produces a natural oil (known as sebum) to keep the skin lubricated, but sometimes these glands can produce too much oil and trap dead skin cells and other debris within the follicle. When this happens, it provides a rich environment for the growth of Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) bacteria. Although this bacteria is normally found on healthy skin, it grows readily in clogged pores and can cause an inflammatory response when trapped beneath the skin’s surface, which can lead to pus formation and the appearance of acne lesions or pimples in affected areas.

Different Types of Acne Blemishes

There are several different kinds of acne that can occur, and identifying the specific type is crucial when devising an effective treatment plan for a clearer complexion. Our skin care team has a variety of lasers and other tools available for acne treatment, which can target mild, moderate and even severe breakouts on the face and body. Most types of acne respond well to laser treatment, and the kinds of breakouts we often see include:

  • Whiteheads  — Closed comedones that develop when trapped oil and skin cells plug a hair follicle and are unable to escape, causing it to bulge outward. Whiteheads are considered a mild form of acne, but picking or popping them can lead to infection.
  • Whiteheads  — Closed comedones that develop when trapped oil and skin cells plug a hair follicle and are unable to escape, causing it to bulge outward. Whiteheads are considered a mild form of acne, but picking or popping them can lead to infection.

Depending on the type of acne present, our skin care specialists will select the best lasers for the job and craft a personalized treatment plan to fight breakouts with maximum effectiveness. Our wide range of lasers can also be combined with other skin care treatments for optimal results, including radiofrequency (RF) sessions, microneedling, oxygen-rich Jet Peels and physician-grade skin care products. Our laser specialists will evaluate your skin during an initial consultation and recommend the best approach for achieving clear, healthy skin free of blemishes or pimples.
