# Acne Therapy

_Calm breakouts with customized acne therapy at Delta Laser Skin Care Centre in Delta, BC. Book your consultation today._

Contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused by poor hygiene or stress. The factors behind acne are actually unproven. How does acne form? Sometimes pores get sticky, trapping _sebum_ (oil) in what is called the _sebaceous gland_. This oil allows bacteria to grow and can cause acne in mild non-inflammatory forms to more severe inflammatory cases.

Fortunately, we have several acne therapy options that will combat acne-causing bacteria including **Blu-U light therapy**, [**Photodynamic Therapy**](https://lougheed-laser-centre.vercel.app/services/photodynamic-therapy) (PDT) as well as physician-grade skin care products such as **RejudiCare Synergy** or [**ZO Skin Health**](https://www.lougheedlaser.com/skincare/zo-skin-health-by-obagi/).

Both the Blu-U and Photodynamic Therapy can be used in combination with topical and/or oral medications. Prior to PDT, the only acne treatment to show such good results was the oral medication, Accutane. However, Accutane has several limitations such as systemic side effects and many people feel uncomfortable with the idea of taking it. Now with PDT and Levulan as an option, you may achieve good results in acne treatment without the adverse health effects. In some cases may be combined with hydrafacial to clean the skin.

The most important thing to do to help reduce scarring is to get your acne under control as early as possible. Sadly, that’s not always an easy task. There are several ways to help reduce the appearance of, or completely remove acne scarring. [**Fraxel Laser**](https://lougheed-laser-centre.vercel.app/treatments/fraxel-laser-solutions) is a very good option. Fraxel works by creating millions of microscopic “holes” in the skin which in turn, stimulates collagen allowing your skin’s natural regeneration process to begin. Another option is the **Venus Viva** which uses heat combined with radio frequency to achieve a similar result. Of course, there’s always specially formulated [**skin care products**](https://lougheed-laser-centre.vercel.app/skincare) like **RejudiCare Synergy** or [**ZO Skin Health**](https://www.lougheedlaser.com/skincare/zo-skin-health-by-obagi/)**.** If the scarring is very deep, [**Dermal Fillers**](https://lougheed-laser-centre.vercel.app/treatments/dermal-fillers) are always an option as well (check out the second and third before and after photos).
