Acne Treatments

Accutane shrinks the oil, or sebaceous, glands in the skin. This reduces the amount of oil that is produced. When your skin isn't producing excess oil, it isn't hanging around clogging up pores and creating pimples. By controlling the oil, acne is also controlled.

The Nordlys Dermatologic Laser system gently treats acne by delivering narrow light wavelengths with Ellipse SWT. No topical anesthetics are required and many patients describe the treatment as practically pain-free, like a flick from a rubber band, followed by a sensation similar to the feeling of gentle warmth.

Liquid nitrogen is sprayed onto the affected area for a freezing effect that results in the death of acne-causing bacteria.  This dermatologic procedure is a popular choice and a great add-on to your acne regimen. Cryotherapy for acne is fast & painless.

Correct training, tools, and a sterile environment are used to successfully drain lesions and remove sebum/dead skin. This should not be attempted by patients. Improper squeezing and picking can lead to worse infections, deeper scars, and inflamed cysts. Done with the right tools, draining and extracting clogged skin lesions can be a very effective treatment method to heal acne lesions and reduce scarring.
