During your first consultation, we will assess your experience with acne, medical history, current skincare routine, and treatment expectations and goals. This assessment will help us determine your skin type and explore acne treatment options. 

Depending on what we discover, we may suggest one or more of the following treatments:

Hollywood Spectra

Hollywood Spectra is a non-invasive and minimally painless acne laser treatment that targets skin issues and stimulates collagen production, resulting in clearer and firmer skin. 

Here’s how treatment words:

• Upon arriving at your appointment, your skin will be cleaned and prepped.
• A mud mask will be applied to the target area.
• Next, a laser will emit low light energy to remove the mud mask and the upper layer of the dermis, deeply exfoliating the skin to remove dead skin cells.

This treatment typically takes around 30 minutes. Little to no downtime is involved.

Intracel RF

IntraCel RF is an FDA-approved laser device that uses radio frequency and microneedling to treat skin issues like acne. It is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers heat and stimulates collagen production in the deep layers of the skin. 

Most people tolerate Intracel RF fairly well, but a topical anesthetic is generally applied to reduce discomfort. Treatment may last around two hours.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a device to exfoliate the uppermost layer of the skin. We use a wand with a diamond-encrusted tip to gently abrade the skin’s surface, removing dead skin cells and impurities.

Microdermabrasion is excellent for mild acne and skin lesions because it can remove dead skin cells, oil, and other debris that can clog pores and cause breakouts. However, it is not recommended for all skin types of conditions. A consultation with one of our Renew Aesthetic professionals will help determine if microdermabrasion is right for you.

Peels

Renew Aesthetic & Laser Aesthetic assists clients in working towards their ideal skin using chemical peels. We will determine the most suitable chemical solution for your needs based on your skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes.

Chemical peels work by exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin, which enhances texture and tone, leading to a smoother, more radiant complexion. They come in three levels of intensity:

• Superficial
• Medium
• Deep

Overall, chemical peels are a safe and effective treatment for acne and can complement other skin treatments to aid in healing and improving skin over time. Renew Aesthetic & Laser Clinic provides the following facials as a part of our acne treatment services in Portland:

• No-peel PCA peel
• PCA peel
• Micro-peel

Facials

Facials are cosmetic procedures that include a series of steps designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and nourish the skin. At Renew Aesthetic & Laser Clinic, all of our acne facials in Portland are administered by licensed estheticians with years of experience and knowledge. We often recommend facials as part of our personalized acne treatment plans.

These treatments are valuable for acne management as they efficiently eliminate dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin’s surface. When complimenting other skincare efforts, facials may even out skin texture and tone and enhance hydration to help achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion.

We provide the following facials as part of our acne treatment services in Portland:

• Facial with extraction
