Acne Treatment

Acne is caused by an overproduction of oil by the skin, and an accumulation of trapped oil and cells in blocked skin pores. The result is pimples, whiteheads, blackheads and cysts.

Topical creams and oral medications are effective – yet often expensive - treatments for acne outbreaks, but they can dry out and irritate sensitive skin. Acne on back and chest skin can be difficult to treat topically because of the large surface area.

SoLux Med Spa in Chicago delivers fast and effective results in treating acne with the latest laser technology. Lasers can deliver better aesthetic results, especially on inflammatory acne, and without the side effects associated with topical and oral medications.

SoLux specializes in customizing multiple treatment methods to most effectively achieve acne reduction for each client. In some cases peels and Microdermabrasion may be included, as well as Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing to minimize scars from previous outbreaks.

The Technology
Acne IPL treatments with Palomar® technology target and destroy the skin bacteria responsible for acne to help prevent future breakouts from occurring on faces, chests and backs. Pulsed light technology delivers just the right amount of light in the right spot size for treatment needs, while the Advanced Contact Cooling technology protects clients' skin.
