Laser facials are the best way to go about your skin goals in case your hydrating facials no longer cover more deep-seated, complex needs— like acne and what it leaves behind.
Your routine monthly facials could help keep breakouts at bay, but when your breakouts leave the inflamed stage and leave you blemished, dull skin or stubborn acne marks & scars and deep pores, you might need the power of lasers to go deeper. The concept of lasers might be daunting even to skincare lovers, so let's break it down and see what makes laser facials the best way to go about acne.
Why are laser facials better for treating acne?
Laser facials go deep within the layers of the skin to stimulate skin processes necessary for our skin to heal and regenerate.
Some laser facials, on the other hand, specialize in working on the skin's surface to replicate the effect of skin healing. In some way, lasers specifically speed up, boost or reintroduce cycles of our skin that are essential in helping heal our skin after the trauma brought about by breakouts— all made possible through handheld devices and a targeted beam of energy.
Although there are a lot of laser facials in the market, it might feel overwhelming to choose what promises to believe in and what is made specifically for our skin. Since there's more than one type of acne and more than one skin type, the challenge lies in finding the best match, the best people to work with, and the best care that goes after having laser facials. To let you skip the guesswork, here's a guide to finding the best progressive laser treatments for every type of acne:
For post-breakout hyperpigmentation
It might look like: light blemishes (think, light gray or brown marks)
The best laser facial for it: Clearlift Laser Treatment
Clearlift Laser Treatment is a non-ablative laser treatment that skips induced surface-scarring and works within the skin instead to lift pigmentation brought about by your most recent breakouts and sun damage while giving you a brighter, more lifted look on the way.
For deeper & more pitted skin texture
It might look like: stubborn acne marks & scars that may look raised or depressed, rougher, more visibly textured skin
The best laser facial for it: Ultimate Clear Power Duo
Combining the two of our crowd-favorite lasers into an intentionally and expertly made treatment, the Ultimate Clear Power Duo works within and on the surface of the skin to give you smoother skin texture, especially if you're dealing with pitted pores and a mix of raised & depressed acne marks and scars. We made sure this calibrated laser gives you progress you could see and feel to bring you one step closer to your skin goals.
For more noticeable acne marks & scars
It might look like: darker, more prominent acne marks & scars, visible pores left from breakouts
The best laser facial for it: Pixel Laser Resurfacing
While Clearlift could work on lighter blemishes from breakouts, Pixel Laser Resurfacing takes a different route in addressing more noticeable acne marks & scars, and texture from breakouts. By intentionally producing micro-scars (like pixels!) on the skin, it speeds up or boosts skin healing. Because of induced skin-healing and the energy brought by the laser, it makes 'resurfacing' the skin more possible to give you fewer acne marks & scars and less noticeable pores.

Although lasers have become more accessible over the years, the number of experts who know what lasers are capable of and how to properly use them on something as fragile and complex as skin.
