Island Dermatology Restores Mercer Island Woman’s Confidence with Breakthrough Acne Treatment

Dermatology was a regular part of life for this lovely Mercer Island woman, but she had gotten little relief from a severe case of acne that developed when she was a teen. She avoided most social situations, and even felt that her acne was an impediment to her career goals. She had not yet found an effective acne treatment, although she had tried many. A friend told her about a new treatment using laser technology that we offered at Island Dermatology. The young woman was sure that she had already tried everything, but to satisfy her friend she agreed to look into the treatment. Not expecting miracles, she scheduled an appointment.

When she arrived at the office, our friendly staff greeted her. The dermatologist did a thorough examination and took a detailed history. After reviewing the information, our dermatologist recommended a laser treatment protocol using BroadBand Light (BBL). This technology uses a series of carefully calibrated light pulses to treat severe acne safely and effectively without the use of drugs. The BroadBand Light technology uses pulses of light to treat the affected areas. We were able to schedule her right away for weekly treatments.

After only eight weeks of treatments this Mercer Island woman had noticeable results. Her skin was healing and clearly smoother. Additionally she had no new flare-ups while undergoing the BBL treatments. We had provided a successful acne treatment which restored her self-confidence and gave her the courage to be more outgoing in both her private and professional life.
