Types of Acne Treatments
At SOM Aesthetics, our expert providers offer a comprehensive range of acne treatments combining advanced technology, medical-grade skincare, and personalized protocols. From cutting-edge light and laser therapies to chemical peels and specialized skincare regimens, each treatment is customized to address your specific concerns with precision and effectiveness.
BBL Therapy
Our advanced BBL (BroadBand Light) treatment uses powerful light energy to target and eliminate acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. The specialized light technology effectively destroys acne-causing bacteria, reduces redness and inflammation, and stimulates the body's natural healing process for clearer, healthier skin with minimal downtime.
ClearSilk Laser
Our gentle, non-ablative ClearSilk laser treatment delivers targeted heat beneath the skin's surface, stimulating collagen production while reducing acne, inflammation, and redness. This comfortable "lunchtime treatment" requires no downtime and is safe for all skin types, providing progressive improvement with each session for a clearer, more vibrant complexion.
LED Light Therapy
Non-invasive blue light technology targets and eliminates acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin's surface, while red light promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and stimulates collagen production for faster recovery.
Acne Scar Therapy
Our expert providers create a custom treatment plan combining advanced laser technologies to address acne scarring. Depending on your specific scar type, we utilize BBL or ClearSilk for redness, and Halo, Profractional or Contour TRL Laser treatments for texture improvements, creating smoother, clearer skin with lasting results.
