Laser Treatments for Acne and Acne Scarring


Acne is a condition that affects over 50 million people a year in the US. Over 85% of the population of 12-24 year olds have experienced at least mild acne. Besides the common over the counter treatments, and prescription medications there are also many procedures that can help to reduce acne.

At Florida Skin Center, one of the procedures offered in all 3 office locations is the Vbeam Laser for acne, and post acne scarring and redness. 

The Vbeam laser:
  • Uses heat to reduce the amount of oil or sebum produced by the oil glands.
  •  Helps to destroy bacteria that cause acne and inflammation. 
  • Helps to treat redness in acne scars. 

There is minimal to no downtime after treatment with this laser. Most people will require a series of treatments based 2-4 weeks apart to see best results. 


The patient above was using prescription medications and had 2 Vbeam treatments to help with acne and acne scarring.
