CoolSculpting®
Laser Acne Treatment
Dr. Ryan Krch N.M.D. has dedicated his career to boosting his patients' self-confidence through reducing cosmetic problems, and he knows that acne can be one of the biggest barriers to that. Our Venus Versa IPL (intense pulsed light) acne laser treatments at Krch AESTHETIC MEDICINE are safe for every skin type and can work on even the most difficult acne. The Venus Versa IPL used by Dr. Ryan is able to treat active acne by both targeting bacteria and reducing the accompanying inflammation that can lead to scar tissue. Our acne laser treatment at Krch AESTHETIC MEDICINE can also be combined with other treatments to drastically reduce pore size and offer an even more glowing complexion afterward. If oral or topical medications have not worked for your acne in the past, contact Dr. Ryan for an acne and skin analysis consultation. After the initial exam, he can tell you if our laser acne treatment is your best solution.
Ideal candidates for Laser Acne Treatment
Men and women who experience multiple types of complexion imperfections but want gradual, natural-looking results instead of instant, obvious changes are the best candidates for Tribella skin rejuvenation. Due to its triple-treatment nature, Tribella can benefit those with dynamic deep and fine wrinkles, volume loss, elasticity loss, sun damage, age spots, spider veins, scars, rough texture – or combinations of any of the above. IPL, RF, and RF Micro-needling are safe for most individuals and skin types; however, if you have anemia or a blood disorder, talk to Dr. Ryan about whether PRP therapy is right for you.
Laser Acne Treatment Procedure Technique
Dr. Ryan will perform your laser acne treatment in one of our procedure rooms at Krch AESTHETIC MEDICINE. After your skin is prepped, he will provide you with protective eyewear and begin to use the Venus Versa IPL applicator to treat multiple areas in the same session. The IPL applicator will introduce blue light through the layers of your skin to destroy bacteria, as well as red light to target inflammation. IPL laser acne treatments typically last about 20 minutes.
What to expect from your Laser Acne Treatment
Patients experience little to no downtime after IPL laser acne treatment, although some redness and minor irritation may occur. Wearing makeup or other products on your skin should be avoided for at least 24 hours, but you should be able to resume all of your daily activities. Depending on your individual treatment, Dr. Ryan may suggest further sessions. For the best results, most patients receive 3 – 4 sessions spaced out 4 – 6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions for Laser Acne Treatment
How much does it cost?
Your laser acne treatment costs typically vary according to how many areas you will have treated, as well as how many sessions you will need to reach the results you are looking for. During your initial consultation, Dr. Ryan will talk with you about your treatment plan and your projected costs.
Why do you use Venus Versa IPL?
Venus Versa IPL is unique because it delivers both blue (heating) and red (cooling) light waves deep into your tissue. It also requires much less downtime than other laser treatments. Plus, Venus Versa IPL is safe and effective for mild to severe active acne.
Why do I need more than one session?
Though some patients might only require one treatment, most will need a few sessions to reach their best outcomes. Your personal number of sessions will depend on your acne type and desired results. Dr. Ryan creates an individualized treatment plan for every patient.
Will the treatment hurt?
Most patients report feeling only a very slight discomfort from IPL treatment and that it is well worth the outcome it produces. Dr. Ryan will use a numbing cream or serum on your skin before he begins your session; plus, the Venus Versa has a real-time cooling system to maximize comfort.
What aftercare is required?
After your Venus Versa IPL laser acne treatment, it is very important to avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning for at least 2 weeks. For about 2 days after your session, you should also avoid hot baths, as well as any massaging to your treated areas. Dr. Ryan or his team at Krch AESTHETIC MEDICINE will be able to give you further details at your consultation or after your treatment.
