Laser Treatment for Acne
At Iona Dermatologics, we use the Lutronic Ultra™ laser to help manage acne and acne‑prone skin in a safe, controlled, medical setting. This non‑invasive treatment is designed to calm active breakouts, improve skin clarity, and support healthier‑looking skin over time.
Each treatment is assessed and performed by our dermatology team in Mississauga, serving the Greater Toronto Area, and is tailored to your skin type, acne pattern, and other prescription therapies you may be using.
The Technology Behind Lutronic Ultra™
Targeting Breakout‑Prone Areas
The laser energy is delivered in tiny, precise columns across the skin. This allows us to focus on areas where you break out most often, such as the cheeks, chin, or forehead. While respecting the surrounding healthy skin. The goal is to reduce congestion and surface oiliness without harsh scrubs or aggressive peels.
Supporting Skin Renewal and Texture
As the skin renews after treatment, many patients notice smoother texture and softening of early acne marks over time. Lutronic Ultra™ is not a cure for acne, but it can be an important part of a broader medical plan, especially when combined with prescription creams or medications prescribed by your dermatologist.
Safe, Dermatologist‑Led Care
Your treatment is performed in a medical clinic with close attention to safety and comfort. Most people feel warmth or a light prickling as the laser moves over the skin. Sessions are typically brief, and we tailor each visit to balance visible improvement with minimal downtime, so you can return to your usual routine quickly.
Treatment Process
01
Medical Acne Consultation
Your visit begins with a detailed assessment by our dermatology team. We review your acne history, current medications, skin type, and any past treatments. Together, we decide whether Lutronic Ultra™ is appropriate for you and, if so, how to integrate it with your existing acne plan.
02
Preparation & Comfort
On treatment day, your skin is cleansed and protective eyewear is provided. We confirm there are no new contraindications, review what to expect, and adjust the laser settings to your skin. A cooling gel or air may be used to support comfort throughout the session.
03
Lutronic Ultra™ Laser Treatment
The laser handpiece is passed over the treatment areas in a series of quick, controlled passes. Most people feel warmth or a prickling sensation that is generally well tolerated. A typical session is brief, and our team checks in with you regularly to maintain comfort and safety.
04
Aftercare & Returning to Daily Life
Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear mildly pink or feel warm, similar to a light sun exposure. This usually settles within hours to a couple of days. You will receive simple aftercare instructions, including sun protection and gentle skincare. Most patients can return to work or school the same or next day.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Before the Session
We take time to understand your skin and acne triggers before we begin. You may be asked to adjust certain products or medications beforehand for safety. Our team will explain how Lutronic Ultra™ fits into your broader acne treatment plan and what is realistic for your skin.
During the Session
Most patients describe a feeling of warmth or light prickling as the laser moves over the skin. Sessions are typically quick, and we can adjust settings to respect sensitive areas. Our focus is on delivering a medically appropriate treatment while keeping you as comfortable as possible.
Post-Treatment Care
A subtle pink glow is typical immediately following treatment, symbolizing active rejuvenation. We provide premium clinical hydration and medical-grade SPF to nourish and protect your skin as you return to your regular daily activities.
