Laser Acne Treatment

Dr. Phu Do offers laser acne treatment for patients in the Houston, Katy, Sugar Land and surrounding areas of Texas.

Men and women of all ages have been struggling with unsightly, irritating acne for decades upon decades. While acne is not a new problem, laser acne treatment is a contemporary solution.

How Does Laser Acne Treatment Work?

Prior to your laser acne treatment, Dr. Phu Do will apply topical, anesthetic goals to alleviate any and all discomfort during treatment. In the basic sense, laser acne treatment works by directing a laser straight to the source. The heat from the laser stops the acne by shutting down oil production, similar to laser hair removal.

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Acne Treatment?

If you have tried every cream, gel or wash on the market and you are still struggling with acne then laser acne treatment may be the solution for you. This treatment is not intended for patients who struggle with the occasional breakout; this is for people constantly struggling with stubborn acne. Additionally, since laser acne treatment targets the oil production and bacteria in your skin this may not be effective for those with hormonal acne. At your initial consultation with Dr. Phu Do in the Houston area, he can determine if your skin type makes you a good candidate for laser acne treatment.

What Can I Expect After Laser Acne Treatment?

Immediately following your appointment, you may notice redness and swelling on the treated area; however this should subside within a few days. It is important to follow the instructions given by Dr. Phu Do for post-treatment, including wearing sunscreen. After treatment your skin is very prone to sun damage. Some patients do not see results after just one treatment, and may decide to return for a follow-up treatment.

How Much Does Laser Acne Treatment Cost?

The cost for laser acne treatment in Katy is dependent on the size of the area to be treatedthe most common areas are the face, back and chest. At your initial skin consultation, Dr. Phu Do can discuss all of your pricing and financing options.
