Traditional acne therapies, including oral and topical drugs, often have mixed results. They may have harmful side effects and take a long time to work. In contrast, Southern Oregon Laser Center uses state-of-the-art laser technology to safely and effectively treat mild, moderate and inflammatory acne. Our lasers combat acne in two ways: they kill the bacteria that cause acne, and they reduce the size of sebaceous glands that produce oil and contribute to clogged pores.
Acne scars are treated in much the same way as fine lines and wrinkles. Our lasers promote new collagen growth, filling scars from the inside out. Brown and red discoloration left from acne scars are removed using treatments similar to the removal of pigmented lesions and vascular lesions.
Our knowledgeable and friendly medical staff are available to answer all your skin care questions and will help you select the best treatment option. Contact us now or come to our conveniently located office for a free consultation. Don't wait! You'll be amazed at how great you will look!
What is Acne?
Acne is an infection of the skin that occurs in the shaft of the hair follicle when p.acne bacteria and oil from the sebaceous gland becomes trapped below the skin surface.
Causes of Acne
Acne is caused when a healthy hair follicle becomes blocked by skin cells that have not shed properly and have stuck together in the shaft of the hair follicle. When this happens, the oil produced by the Sebaceous gland and p.acne bacteria are no longer able to exit through the surface of the skin. Inflammation occurs and acne is born.
