Persistent acne, recurring breakouts, and skin that never fully clears can be frustrating to manage. At Natural Results Medical Aesthetics, acne treatment begins with understanding why acne continues to develop and how to address it at a deeper level. Many people try multiple products and routines, yet still experience new breakouts along with lingering marks and uneven texture.
The concern often goes beyond the visible blemishes. Acne can leave behind discoloration, rough skin texture, and ongoing congestion that affects overall skin appearance. When breakouts become consistent, a clinical approach can help target the underlying causes and support long-term improvement.
Active Breakouts: Inflamed pimples, cystic acne clearing, and ongoing flare-ups
Skin Congestion: Blocked pores, blackheads, and whiteheads
Inflammation and Redness: Swelling and irritation around active acne
Post-Acne Marks: Dark spots or discoloration after breakouts heal
Uneven Texture: Early signs of acne scarring and rough skin
Recurring Cycles: Breakouts that return despite consistent skincare
Over-the-counter products may help with occasional breakouts, but persistent acne often involves deeper skin activity. Key factors include:
Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands contribute to clogged pores
Bacterial Overgrowth: Cutibacterium acnes bacteria can increase within the skin
Inflammation: Ongoing irritation that slows healing and worsens breakouts
Clogged Pores: Dead skin cells and oil-trapping debris beneath the surface
These factors can create a cycle where acne continues to return without fully resolving.
Targeting acne requires more than surface-level care. Persistent breakouts often need treatment that addresses oil production, bacteria, and inflammation at once.
That’s where Alma Laser Treatments come in. The Alma Hybrid CO2 Laser and the Alma Harmony Laser are behind our effective and powerful treatments. Using our customized acne protocols, our team can tackle active breakouts, reduce congestion, calm inflammation, and start improving the scarring and texture issues that acne leaves behind-all without downtime or harsh chemical treatments.
Choose from two groundbreaking treatments: The Alma Hybrid® Acne Correction Protocol or the Acne Authority Light Therapy Series. These results-driven acne treatments are tailored to all skin types and skin colors. Whether you’re dealing with occasional flare-ups or more persistent acne, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your skin and what it needs right now.
This protocol focuses on addressing one of the primary drivers of acne: overactive oil glands.
The 1570 nm wavelength targets water within the dermis while reaching the sebaceous glands beneath the skin. Controlled heat is delivered to these glands without affecting the surface layer.
How it works:
Thermal energy reduces the activity of the oil glands, which helps limit excess oil production. With less oil available, acne-causing bacteria have fewer conditions to grow, leading to fewer breakouts.
Reducing inflammation:
Acne is an inflammatory condition. This treatment supports collagen remodeling and improves circulation, which helps reduce redness and swelling while supporting the healing of active lesions.
Preventing early scarring:
By controlling oil production and inflammation early, the treatment helps reduce the risk of deeper breakouts that may lead to scarring. It also supports collagen production, which can help smooth early textural changes.
No downtime approach:
Because this treatment is non-ablative, it works beneath the surface while leaving the outer skin intact, allowing patients to continue their daily routines.
Since acne tends to follow a cycle, treatments are typically scheduled every two weeks to help interrupt that pattern and support clearer skin.
This treatment uses targeted light energy to address bacteria, pigment, and inflammation associated with acne.
The Nd: YAG 1064 nm wavelength delivers short pulses of energy that interact with acne-causing bacteria, excess pigment, and damaged tissue within the skin.
An additional 532 nm wavelength is used to focus on surface-level concerns.
Targeting acne-causing bacteria:
The 532 nm wavelength interacts with porphyrins produced by acne bacteria. This reaction helps break down the bacteria within active breakouts without affecting the surrounding tissue.
Calming redness:
This wavelength also targets hemoglobin in inflamed blood vessels, helping reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.
Improving skin clarity:
The treatment encourages gentle exfoliation by creating controlled micro-injury in the outer skin layer. This process supports skin cell turnover, helping unclog pores and reduce the formation of new blackheads and whiteheads.
