Although it is something a majority of individuals struggle with, acne is not fun. Around 80% of individuals experience acne, most of which are teenagers and women. Whether you notice the occasional pimple or have more painful, serious breakouts, acne changes how we see ourselves.
If you are looking for more advanced acne treatment options that work deeper than ordinary skincare, we have what you need at Cosmedica Aesthetics. Our treatments target the deep layers of your skin for complete rejuvenation and renewal.

Target Redness With Forever Clear BBL
For those who struggle with redness and breakouts, Forever Clear BBL (broadband light) utilizes 3 wavelengths of light to target superficial imperfections and deep hyperpigmentation concerns.
To begin, your provider applies a cooling gel to your face to make the treatment comfortable.
Our laser nurse makes 3 passes over the treatment area, each one providing a different benefit.
- Pass 1: Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria deep in the pores.
- Pass 2: Yellow light targets redness and inflammation while preventing new breakouts.
- Pass 3: Infrared light reduces scarring and enhances the benefits of the other lights.
After your 30-minute appointment, you can return to your day, as there is minimal downtime. Your laser nurse provides instructions for post-care and how to properly maintain your results.
Target Scarring With Halo Laser & MicroLaser Peel
If you have more serious scarring from cystic acne, Halo Laser and a MicroLaser Peel can give your deep tissue a refresh.
First, we apply a topical numbing cream to prepare for the hybrid laser technology. Next, your nurse uses Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser to promote new cell growth and increase collagen production. This treatment offers both ablative and non-ablative technology:
- Ablative treatment: A more invasive laser that treats the top layer of the skin (epidermis).
- Non-ablative treatment: A less invasive laser that heats deep layers of the skin (dermis) to stimulate collagen production.
Then, we pair Halo Laser with a MicroLaser Peel. This enhances the ablative technology to reduce the appearance of acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores.
Staying Ahead With Skincare
Our in-house treatments combine beautifully with a skincare regimen from ZO Skin Health. A skincare routine helps manage treatment results by:
- Properly cleansing the skin to reduce sebum (oil) production
- Exfoliating to remove dead skin cells
- Toning to control pores
- Providing daily defense against the sun and irritants
Say Goodbye to Acne
Dealing with acne can be uncomfortable and painful, and for some, a huge point of insecurity. Using light or laser aesthetics, we can target bacteria, pigmentation, and inflammation deep within the skin or on the surface.
