Frequently Asked Questions
Is Acne LED Light Therapy Safe?
Yes, Acne LED Light Therapy is generally safe. It is a non-invasive procedure that uses certain wavelengths of light to eliminate bacteria that cause acne. The blue light specifically targets the bacteria, while the red light promotes healing and reduces inflammation.
However, like any other cosmetic procedure, there are risks to Acne LED Light Therapy, including:
- Skin irritation
- Dryness or flakiness
- Potential damage to the eye
- Skin discoloration
- Increased sensitivity to light
- Having an allergic reaction
These risks are somewhat rare and usually only occur if the device is not used properly. Dr. Kerr will use his expertise to minimize these risks and ensure your comfort.
Who Are Not Good Candidates for Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a great option for those looking to exfoliate their skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, they are not for everyone as they can have adverse effects.
You may not be a good candidate for a chemical peel if you meet the following criteria:
- You have an active skin infection
- You are currently pregnant
- You are breastfeeding
- You are using certain medications, such as Accutane
- You have a history of keloid scarring
- You have an abnormal healing factor
- You have a sunburn
- You have a skin condition, such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, or rosacea

How Does Tripollar Work?
Tripollar is a unique non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy.

Furthermore, this treatment is suitable for all skin types and has no recovery period.Â
