Treatment Choices for Acne in La Jolla
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that is characterized by over-activity of the oil glands. Bacteria builds up, causing inflammation near the surface of the skin and, in some cases, deeper beneath the skin. The result is pustules, pimples (papule), whiteheads, blackheads and/or cysts. These most commonly appear on the skin of the face, back and/or chest.
Acne can be painful, unsightly and embarrassing. At FACESplus in La Jolla, we know that it can be difficult to put your best face forward if your skin has erupted with acne. This is why we offer safe and effective methods to treat your acne, giving you clearer, smoother skin and the exhilarating confidence that goes along with it!

Laser Genesis in San Diego
Laser Genesis is a unique, non-ablative laser treatment that is quick and requires absolutely no downtime. Laser Genesis gently warms your skin, which encourages the production of collagen. Collagen is essential for giving you clear, healthy, beautiful skin. Laser Genesis is a no-downtime and painless procedure for acne prone skin. Patients will also see a decrease in the size of pores. Laser Genesis works by putting heat into the dermis. The heat kills bacteria in active breakouts. Any red tones or discolorations from present or previous breakouts will be lightened as well.
Thermage CPT
Acne may have finally met its match with the Thermage CPT System. Thermage CPT acne treatments provide excellent results after just one or two procedures, giving you clearer skin that lasts longer. In addition to treating acne, Thermage CPT works to minimize the appearance of acne scarring.
The Thermage CPT System is the only non-invasive treatment that delivers tighter skin, renewed facial contours and promotes healthier collagen. The Thermage CPT acne procedure uses a patented radiofrequency technology that heats the dermis while cooling the epidermis, which encourages the production of collagen and tightens the skin. Thermage CPT acne treatment is customized to provide the most benefit for each individual patient, and unlike lasers, Thermage CPT can be used on patients of all skin types. The incision-free procedure is fast and easy, and requires no downtime from normal activities.
