Diet, genetics, and lifestyle all play a major role in the appearance of our skin. If you’ve struggled with acne and tried many treatments without success, modern medical aesthetics offers new hope. Laser acne treatment is a highly effective way to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce the marks left behind by breakouts.
Our Cutera laser technology combines the power of Nd:YAG and Xeo’s laser and light-based solutions to destroy bacteria responsible for acne while repairing damaged skin. This dual-action approach helps rebalance your skin’s overall complexion, resulting in clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin. To maximize benefits, a consistent skincare regimen is essential alongside your laser treatments.

FAQs
How Does Laser Acne Treatment Work?
At Electra Laser Vancouver, we use Acne Laser Genesis. This is a non-invasive laser procedure designed to treat existing acne, prevent future breakouts and reduce the appearance of acne scars. Acne Laser Genesis works by gently heating the dermis below the skin’s surface. This will kill the bacteria that causes acne to get rid of current blemishes and ward off future breakouts. It also stimulates collagen production to reduce pore size and the appearance of acne scars.
Is Laser Acne Treatment Painful?
Since we apply heat, you’ll feel a gentle and relaxing warming sensation without the sharp sting associated with most laser treatments.
What can I expect during the treatment? How long does a session last?
The Acne Laser Genesis will be pulsed over each area to deliver photon energy until the skin’s internal temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius. The total treatment time is generally 30-45 minutes.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments needed varies depending on the baseline condition of your skin and your desired results. We generally recommend a series of six to eight treatments 2-4 weeks apart for those with active acne.
