Clearer Skin With Laser Therapy Acne Treatments
Your acne is more than skin deep. It affects how you see yourself in the mirror. At Blake Family Medicine, discover an alternative to Accutane with safe, effective treatments that truly transform you inside and out.
Understanding Acne and Its Destructive Effects
Acne is more than an inconvenience. It affects how you feel about yourself and how often you step out in public. Often, your skin leaves you feeling embarrassed or discouraged. We understand. Here, you have options. We still offer the more traditional acne care we have done for years. Over-the-counter and prescription medication or creams help in many cases, but we also offer advanced care for moderate to severe acne. When you walk through the door, you’re supported as a whole person, not just a case on a chart.
At Blake Family Medicine, we were frustrated with the care options for our patients who had anything but mild acne. For that reason, we purchased the ADVATx laser system. Now, you have a treatment option that doesn’t require complex regimens of medications or the side-effects of Accutane. This laser therapy acne treatment combines clinical expertise and personalized, compassionate care. This gentle, high-performance technology reduces redness and inflammation, and restores your healthy skin.
What to Expect:
To treat acne, we use two different ADVATx lasers. First, we use a yellow laser to kill the bacteria and reduce inflammation for the existing acne. Then, we follow with an infra-red laser to shrink the enlarged oil glands and encourage the remodeling of your skin. It will appear less scarred and much more healthy. You’ll notice visible improvement in minutes, and with a series of sessions, those results will reveal lasting change. Step outside again! You deserve to be seen!
Healing Your Skin (and Your Confidence)
Every face is different. That’s why our approach to your acne treatment focuses on what is best for you to achieve long-term results.

Create Meaningful Change In Your Life
Let’s get back to how it used to be. You should have a doctor who knows your name, and honest care comes from his heart. Are you ready to experience the difference?
A Word About Accutane
At Blake Family Medicine, we will never subject you to the medication, Accutane. Once upon a time, it was the go-to acne treatment. This old and powerful medication presents brutal side effects and the complex regimens to follow. If you require this, you are best served in a different clinic.
An Accutane Regimen Requires:
- Registration with a national database
- Regular Lab testing
- Liver and Cholesterol
- Glucose for some
- Regular pregnancy testing
Since Accutane Causes Birth Defects, Before Starting:
- Women must wait 30 days
- 2 Negative Pregnancy Tests
- Birth Control (2 forms)
Side Effects Include:
- Anemia
- Mental Health
- Depression
- Psychosis
- Skin itching all over
- Nose Bleeds
- Swelling
- Dry Eyes
- Lip infections
- Dry mouth and nose
- Muscle and joint pain
- Weight Loss
- Affects non-acne skin too
Since the cash cost of Accutane and the ADVATx are similar, it is easy to see why we prefer the ADVATx.
