What is the Candela Clear Acne Therapy?
A Candela Clear Acne Therapy is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses laser energy from our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface. This process helps calm acne-related inflammation, regulate excess oil production, reduce redness, and support clearer skin, while stimulating collagen for smoother texture and a more even, balanced skin tone.

What Can You Expect?
Before Treatment
Your skin will be cleansed and prepped before the laser is applied. We will review your skin concerns and confirm this treatment is appropriate for your current skin condition. The skin should be free of active sunburn or excessive irritation prior to treatment.
During Treatment
The 1064nm Nd:YAG laser delivers controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin to help calm inflammation and support clearer skin. Most clients describe the sensation as warm with light snapping. A cooling system is used to keep the treatment comfortable. The session typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
After Treatment
You may experience mild redness or warmth, similar to a light flush, which usually resolves within a few hours. There is no peeling, flaking, or downtime, and you can return to your normal routine the same day. Results develop gradually, with improved skin calmness and clarity over time. A series of treatments may be recommended for best results.
