Acne is a common condition that almost everyone will experience during their lifetime. Teens and adults can experience acne that is frustrating, painful, and detrimental to their confidence. While there are many types of acne treatments out there, NeoClear for Acne can provide a superior level of results in patients with treatment-resistant or severe acne. At Vibrant Dermatology, we offer this laser treatment alongside a wide range of other acne treatments to treat and prevent breakouts.
The NeoClear laser treats acne at its source. It delivers energy directly into the skin where it reduces inflammation and kills acne-causing bacteria. NeoClear is a comfortable, non-invasive option that treats existing acne and prevents further breakouts. We can also help you improve the overall tone of your skin and make it more resilient.
By targeting the causes of acne (oil overproduction, inflammation, and bacteria), NeoClear addresses a wide range of acne types including persistent inflammatory acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and cystic acne. It reduces the severity and frequency of active breakouts, diminishes post-acne scarring, prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and gives you a clearer complexion over time.
NeoClear works by using a 1064nm wavelength laser that penetrates deep into the skin, targeting the sebaceous glands responsible for acne and suppressing them. It also helps to coagulate blood capillaries in the area which reduces the inflammation. The heat from the laser kills the bacteria responsible for certain types of acne, a type known as P. acne bacteria. The benefits of overall skin tone improvement come from the laser’s ability to stimulate collagen production in the skin.
NeoClear for Acne can help alleviate all types of acne, including pustular, comedonal, and cystic acne. Moreover, this treatment can reduce the appearance of acne scarring, which is another major concern of many teens, men, and women with acne.
This powerful treatment can create excellent results in as little as a single treatment. And, unlike other laser treatments, Aerolase for acne is an effective and safe treatment for all skin types and tones.
This particular laser can penetrate deeply into the skin to safely address the causes of acne, clear current breakouts, and prevent more from developing in the future.
Another great benefit of NeoClear for acne is that it also helps build collagen and reduces the appearance of acne scars. For those who have been stuck in a cycle of acne breakouts and new scarring, NeoClear for acne can help you regain control of your skin and boost your confidence.
Each treatment session typically lasts anywhere from 10-30 minutes. The duration of the treatment is dependent on the severity of the acne and how large of an area it covers. NeoClear for acne can be used across the face, neck, chest, back, and torso to tackle all areas where acne is present.
NeoClear for acne is a powerful and effective treatment. This means that patients love that they can see results after just one treatment. Depending on the type of acne you have, how widespread it is, and how severe it is, Dr. Ip may recommend multiple treatments that are spaced out over a few months to give you the best, long-lasting results.
Since Aerolase is a safe laser that can be used for all types of acne and skin types, it is also an excellent option for patients who do not want to take prescription medications or are unable to tolerate them.
Men, women, and teens may all be good candidates for NeoClear for Acne since this is one of the safest and most effective laser treatments available for those struggling with acne. When other methods have failed, NeoClear may be a great treatment option.
During their consultation with Dr. Ip, every patient will receive a detailed acne analysis, treatment plan, and customized skin care plan to get the results they seek while also reducing the appearance of acne scarring. NeoClear is also often recommended for individuals who cannot tolerate or take other acne medications.
You can start seeing improvements in your skin within a few weeks after your first acne treatment with NeoClear. The reduction in acne breakouts typically becomes noticeable as the laser works to target the underlying causes, such as excess oil production and inflammation. For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended, with gradual improvements continuing as your skin responds to the treatment.
The results of NeoClear for acne can last for several months, especially with proper skin care and maintenance. By addressing the root causes of acne, NeoClear helps prevent future breakouts, leading to clearer skin over the long term. However, maintenance treatments or adjustments to your skincare routine may be recommended to sustain the best results.
NeoClear can be safely combined with other laser acne treatments or skincare methods. Whether you’re using topical medications, oral treatments, or other non-invasive procedures, NeoClear complements these approaches by enhancing the overall effectiveness of your acne management plan. Your dermatologist will help you create a personalized treatment plan that integrates NeoClear with other therapies for the best results.
Most patients benefit from a series of four to six acne treatments with NeoClear, spaced a few weeks apart. The exact number of sessions depends on the severity of your acne and your skin’s response to the laser. Regular follow-up treatments may be recommended to maintain results and address any new breakouts that occur.
To prepare for your NeoClear treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks prior. Refrain from using any harsh exfoliants or skincare products that might irritate your skin in the days leading up to your appointment. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, and discuss any medications or other treatments you’re currently using with your provider to ensure your skin is in the best possible condition for the laser treatment.
Maintaining your NeoClear results involves adopting a skincare routine that helps prevent acne breakouts. Regular cleansing, moisturizing, and the use of non-comedogenic products can keep your skin clear. Avoid picking at blemishes and protect your skin from sun exposure by using sunscreen daily. Staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and managing stress can also contribute to healthier skin, helping to prolong the benefits of your NeoClear treatment. Regular follow-up treatments may also be recommended to keep your skin looking its best.
