Which acne treatments are best for me?

To find out which acne treatment best suits you, the Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin team looks at your skin, reviews your medical history and medications, and discusses your lifestyle. They also ask about your treatment preferences and desired results before tailoring a customized treatment plan. 

What are the available acne treatments?

Your skin care provider may suggest one or more of the following acne treatments to revitalize your skin and clear up acne:

Medications

Taking certain medicines can reduce the severity of acne and the incidence of acne flare-ups. If you need prescription medicine, the Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin team can refer you to a specialist.

Skin care products

Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin offers numerous top-quality skin care products that diminish acne and scarring. Examples include ZO® Skin Health, EltaMD®, iS Clinical®, and PCA SKIN®.

Light therapy

Light-based treatments available at Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin are noninvasive, and they offer high success rates.

Facials

Your Kefi Advanced Laser & Skin specialist provides customized facials to extract whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples in addition to cleansing treated skin and stimulating collagen production. The practice offers fire and ice facials, oxygen facials, dermaplaning facials, and other customized facials that revitalize skin to give it a healthy glow.

Chemical peels

Using a chemical solution removes the outermost skin cells and improves the appearance of skin containing mild acne.

Skinwave hydrafacial

Skinwave hydrafacial technology combines aqua-delivery with anti-aging solutions and hydrogen therapy to extract and exfoliate treated skin, remove impurities, infuse your skin with nutrients, and improve treated skin’s vitality and tone. 

This treatment uses hydradermabrasion to incorporate beta hydroxy acid (BHA), alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), hyaluronic acid, and hydrogen (H2) into targeted tissues.
