And Pixel Perfect™ may be the perfect solution for you. Pixel Perfect is an aesthetic laser treatment that can make your acne scars a thing of the past. Unlike deep peels and other solutions, the downtime can be as short as a few days. In fact, depending on the type of Pixel Perfect laser used for your treatment, you might appear to have slight sunburn and that it. The end result, however, can be astonishing!

Active Acne Laser Treatments an Effective alternative to daily pills and creams

Acne is a common condition characterized by obstructed sebaceous glands, pimples and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Acne begins in adolescence and usually affects most teenagers at some time. However, adults too can suffer with acne. When severe, acne can often result in scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring, if not properly treated. Until recently, patients with persistent, moderate acne have been treated with only topical or sometimes systemic antibiotics. Recent studies have demonstrated, however, that certain discrete spectra can trigger endogenic porphyrins that naturally destroy P. acnes bacteria — and in just a fraction of the time it typically takes for antibiotics to work. Within eight brief acne laser treatments, over just four weeks, Harmony® laser AFT can provide significant improvement. This is three times faster than common antibiotics and topical. Patients should achieve 80% clearance and treatments for acne take only a few minutes.
