Acne Treatment

Overview

Acne vulgaris affects nearly 100% of the population at some point in their lives. At Kassir Dermatology, Dr. Martin Kassir employs the most advanced laser therapies available to provide lasting relief for patients of all skin types and ages. Unlike topical treatments that only address the surface, our laser-based acne protocols target the sebaceous glands and bacteria responsible for breakouts at their source.

How It Works

Our laser acne treatments use targeted wavelengths — including blue light (415nm) and infrared (1450nm) — to destroy Propionibacterium acnes bacteria and thermally damage overactive sebaceous glands. The treatment is non-invasive, performed in-office, and requires no anesthesia. Each session typically lasts 20–40 minutes.

Am I a Candidate?

Ideal candidates are patients with mild to moderate inflammatory acne who have not responded adequately to topical or oral treatments, or who prefer to avoid systemic medications. Dr. Kassir will perform a thorough skin assessment to determine the most appropriate protocol for your skin type and acne severity.

What to Expect

Most patients experience mild redness and warmth immediately following treatment, which resolves within a few hours. A series of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Maintenance sessions may be scheduled as needed.
