Acne Laser Treatment San Diego

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns affecting teens and adults alike, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. Whether you’re struggling with chronic breakouts, painful cystic acne, or post-acne scarring, laser technology offers a modern, effective way to restore your skin’s clarity. At Daily Glow Spa, we provide advanced acne laser treatment in San Diego, helping you achieve clearer skin through non-invasive, physician-led care rooted in holistic wellness.

Led by Dr. Lan Nguyen, a board-certified orthopedic traumatologist and one of San Diego’s Top Doctors, our acne protocols blend cutting-edge laser science with a whole-body approach to support long-term skin health, balance, and confidence.

What Is Acne Laser Treatment?

Acne laser treatment is a non-surgical solution that uses targeted light or laser energy to treat acne at its root. Laser therapy works by:

• Reducing overactive sebaceous glands (oil production)
• Killing acne-causing bacteria (like Propionibacterium acnes)
• Minimizing inflammation and redness
• Stimulating collagen to fade acne scars
• Improving skin texture and tone

Unlike topical products or oral medications, laser treatments offer precise, deeper-level intervention without the systemic side effects or harsh chemicals.

Types of Acne We Treat

Laser acne therapy is suitable for treating:

• Whiteheads and blackheads (comedonal acne)
• Inflammatory acne (pimples, pustules, and papules)
• Cystic acne (deep, painful lesions)
• Hormonal acne, often appearing around the chin and jaw
• Acne scars (boxcar, rolling, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)

At Daily Glow Spa, we assess your skin carefully to choose the right laser and settings for your specific acne type, skin tone, and sensitivity level.

Why Choose Daily Glow Spa for Acne Laser Treatment?

1. Doctor-Led Precision

Your treatment plan is developed and overseen by Dr. Lan Nguyen, whose medical background ensures that every session is safe, effective, and tailored to your skin’s biology—not just its appearance.

We go beyond acne removal. Our treatments address the underlying causes of acne—including hormone imbalance, stress, inflammation, and lifestyle—so your results are long-lasting.

We use FDA-cleared laser systems like Cutera’s Excel V+, Laser Genesis, and Aviclear, which are safe for all skin types, including darker tones that require special care in laser selection.

What to Expect During Treatment

Step 1: Personalized Skin Consultation

We begin with a thorough assessment of your skin’s current condition, history, and triggers. This allows us to choose the most effective laser modality and set realistic goals for your skin.

Step 2: Treatment Session

Most acne laser sessions last 30 to 45 minutes. Depending on the technology, you may feel a warming sensation or a gentle snapping against the skin. Discomfort is minimal, and no anesthesia is required.

Step 3: Aftercare

You may experience temporary redness or slight sensitivity post-treatment. We provide you with simple, holistic aftercare instructions, including skincare, hydration tips, and sun protection.

Step 4: Results and Maintenance

Initial improvements often appear after the first or second treatment, but optimal results typically require a series of sessions. Maintenance plans are available to help you sustain clear skin long term.

• Use only FDA-cleared laser technology
• Perform treatments in a medical-grade setting
• Carefully select laser types based on skin type and tone
