About the Treatment

Laser Acne Treatment: The Image Method

Diagnosis as the first step
At Image, every acne treatment begins with a thorough medical diagnosis, essential to understand the causes of the condition and its severity. Not all forms of acne are the same: teenage acne, adult-onset, inflammatory, or scarring types require different approaches. Only by starting from an accurate analysis can a truly effective treatment plan be built, avoiding generic and short-lived solutions.

A three-step protocol

The Image Protocol against acne is structured into three progressive steps:

  • Calm inflammation: reduce redness, flare-ups, and active breakouts.
  • Lighten: fade post-inflammatory marks and even out skin tone.
  • Smooth: improve scars and skin texture, restoring firmness and a refined appearance.

This step-by-step method treats not only active acne but also the signs it may leave behind, preventing permanent scarring.

An integrated and multidisciplinary approach

What makes the Image pathway unique is the teamwork of multiple professionals: dermatologists, laser therapy specialists, and therapists work in synergy to create a truly personalized treatment. This multidisciplinary vision combines clinical diagnosis, advanced technologies, and supportive treatments, ensuring more complete and lasting results.

Advanced technologies and customization

Each treatment plan is tailored to individual needs: fractional lasers, skin resurfacing systems, and regenerative methods are selected according to the patient’s specific requirements. The goal is not only to reduce blemishes and breakouts but also to improve overall skin health and quality.

Visible and progressive results

Laser acne treatment works in depth: it regulates sebum production, targets bacteria responsible for inflammation, and stimulates tissue regeneration. Thanks to the Image Protocol and the work of an integrated team, the skin regains smoothness, brightness, and firmness—benefits that also enhance self-esteem and personal well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does laser acne treatment work?

Laser acne treatment works deep within the skin: it reduces sebum production, fights the bacteria responsible for inflammation, and stimulates tissue regeneration. This helps reduce active breakouts, prevent new lesions, and improve overall skin quality.

Does laser treatment permanently remove acne scars?

Fractional and regenerative lasers significantly improve acne scars and marks. They may not always remove them completely, but they reduce depth, redness, and irregularities, making the skin texture smoother and more even.

How many laser sessions are needed to treat acne?

The number of sessions depends on the severity of acne and skin type. On average, 3–6 treatments scheduled at regular intervals are needed to achieve progressive and long-lasting results. Personalization is key.

Can acne scars disappear completely?

No technology can make a scar disappear entirely or turn it into normal skin. However, modern treatments can significantly improve skin texture, making scars much less noticeable.

What are acne scars?

Acne scars are skin marks that form when inflammation damages not only the epidermis but also deeper skin layers. The damaged tissue is replaced by collagen fibers that repair the lesion but leave visible marks.

What is the difference between acne scars and post-acne marks?

Scars are permanent depressions or raised areas of the skin. Post-acne marks, instead, are hyperpigmented spots caused by excess melanin in the inflamed area. Both can be treated with targeted protocols, but they are two distinct conditions.

What are the main types of acne scars?

Acne scars are generally divided into three types:

  • Ice pick: deep and narrow, similar to enlarged pores, difficult to treat.
  • Boxcar: round with sharp edges, similar to chickenpox scars.
  • Rolling scars: wave-like depressions with soft edges, more common on cheeks and jawline.
