Acne is more than just a teenage concern! It affects people of all ages and can leave behind frustrating scars, redness, and textural irregularities. At MiraMed and Day Spa in Santa Barbara, CA, we understand how persistent and emotionally challenging acne can be. That’s why we’re proud to offer the Candela Laser Facial, a revolutionary acne treatment that targets not just breakouts but also the long-term aftermath, like acne scars and redness.
Whether you’re struggling with active breakouts or post-acne marks, this laser facial for acne scars offers real, visible results — all with no downtime and a soothing, spa-like experience.
What Is the Candela Laser Facial?
The Candela Laser Facial is a non-invasive, non-ablative laser treatment designed to gently heat the skin’s dermis, stimulating collagen production and reducing inflammation. It is especially effective for:
Active acne
Acne-related redness
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Shallow acne scars
Uneven skin tone
Enlarged pores
This skin rejuvenation treatment works beneath the surface of the skin to repair and regenerate, without causing damage to the outer layer. That means no peeling, no flaking, and no extended downtime.
How the Candela Laser Facial Works
The Candela Laser Facial uses targeted laser energy to gently heat the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response. Here’s what it does at a deeper level:
Stimulates Collagen Production: This helps smooth out shallow acne scars and improves overall skin texture.
Reduces Redness and Inflammation: The heat reduces vascular activity, which is ideal for calming red, inflamed acne.
Shrinks Oil Glands: Helps prevent future breakouts by minimizing sebum production.
Improves Skin Tone and Texture: Encourages healthier, more radiant skin by increasing cell turnover.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing lasers, the Candela treatment is gentle enough for all skin types and requires no recovery time!

What to Expect During Your Laser Facial
Before Your Treatment:
Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for at least a week.
Discontinue use of retinoids or active exfoliants 3–5 days prior.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
During Your Treatment:
The session takes less than 30 minutes.
You may feel a warm, tingling sensation, similar to standing in front of a heater.
There is no pain, and most clients find it relaxing.
After Your Treatment:
No peeling or irritation.
Slight warmth or redness may occur for a few hours.
You can return to work or daily activities immediately.
For optimal results, we recommend a series of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart. It is always great to do a Hydrafacial in between (2 weeks before or after a laser treatment) to help clear pores further and keep acne at bay!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Candela Laser Facial safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes! This treatment is designed to be gentle and is safe for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
How soon will I see results?
Many clients notice improved tone and reduced redness after just one session. For acne scars and more significant results, a series is recommended.
Can it help with cystic or hormonal acne?
While the treatment can help reduce inflammation and support long-term management, severe cystic acne may require a combination of treatments. We can create a custom plan for you.
Will I need downtime?
No. That’s one of the best parts of the Candela Laser Facial! You can return to your normal routine immediately.
