For Dry Skin or Eczema
Try a moisture-boosting Hydrafacial procedure to infuse hyaluronic acid and other key antioxidants utilizing pressurized/hyperbaric oxygen to drive delivery of these ingredients deeper into the skin. Safely harness the power of UV light by treating plaques of psoriasis with an excimer laser, which uses focused narrow-band UVB rays to reduce inflammation in the skin, without overexposing the entire body to the sun’s broader UV rays.
For Oily Skin
Photodynamic therapy can be an effective treatment for reducing sebum production in the skin. The treatment involves pairing the application of a photosensitizing agent such as Levulan or Ameluz with subsequent exposure to blue or red LED light. The resulting photochemical reaction takes place within pores and deep within the skin to target overactive oil glands. A great treatment for someone with normal/combination skin to improve their skin’s tone, texture, and lines is a session of a non-ablative fractional resurfacing laser. My personal favorite devices are the LaseMD and Clear and Brilliant.
For Cystic Acne
For isolated acne cysts, nothing beats the speed and efficacy of a cortisone injection. A quick visit to your local derm can help address large and stubborn cysts. Photodynamic Therapy, mentioned above for oily skin, can also be a great treatment to reduce acne severity.
For Random Breakouts
Treatment with the Isolaz 2 device (combining suction, LED therapy, and infusion of pore unclogging ingredients) can help keep pores unblocked and bacterial load lower on the skin—which can help reduce the frequency of random breakouts.
