Persistent acne and the scars it leaves behind can affect your confidence at any age. Whether you’re dealing with active breakouts, stubborn acne scars, or both, you deserve a solution backed by science—not empty promises.
At Generations Wellness Center in Cary, we use ADVATx® laser technology to address both active acne and acne scarring with precision and measurable results. Led by medical professionals who prioritize evidence-based care, our practice brings advanced regenerative treatments to patients seeking real, lasting improvement in their skin health.
What Is ADVATx Laser Treatment?
ADVATx is an advanced dual-wavelength laser system designed to restore total dermal health. Unlike traditional acne treatments that only address surface symptoms, ADVATx works at multiple skin depths to target the root causes of acne and scarring. The technology uses two distinct wavelengths—589nm and 1319nm—each targeting specific concerns to deliver comprehensive results.
The 589nm wavelength penetrates up to 1.25mm and is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin, making it highly effective for targeting c. acnes bacteria, reducing inflammation, and addressing pigmented lesions.
The 1319nm wavelength penetrates up to 2mm deep, primarily absorbed by water in the skin, making it safer for all skin types while stimulating collagen production and regulating sebaceous gland activity to control oil production.
Benefits of ADVATx for Acne and Acne Scars
ADVATx delivers measurable improvements for both active acne and the scarring it causes. Key benefits include:
- Targets active acne by eliminating c.acne bacteria and reducing inflammation
- Improves acne scars through non-ablative collagen stimulation
- Reduces redness and vascular concerns associated with acne
- Regulates oil production to prevent future breakouts
- Safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones
- Minimal downtime with no need for extended recovery
- Addresses pigmented lesions and melasma
Who Is a Candidate for ADVATx Treatment?
ADVATx is appropriate for patients dealing with active acne, acne scarring, or both. You may be a good candidate if you experience persistent breakouts that haven’t responded to topical treatments, have post-inflammatory pigmentation, or struggle with textural changes from previous acne. Because the 1319nm wavelength is water-absorbed rather than pigment-absorbed, ADVATx is a safe option for patients with darker skin types who may not be suitable candidates for other laser treatments.
During your consultation at Generations Wellness Center, our team will evaluate your skin health, discuss your concerns, and determine whether ADVATx is the right approach for your unique needs.
What to Expect During ADVATx Treatment
ADVATx treatments are performed in-office and typically take 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with most patients describing a warm sensation on the skin. No anesthesia is required, though a topical numbing cream may be applied for added comfort.
The dual-wavelength system allows your provider to customize treatment based on whether you’re addressing active acne, scarring, or both. Most patients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results, with the exact number determined by your skin’s response and treatment goals.
Recovery and Results
One of the advantages of ADVATx is minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness or warmth immediately following treatment, similar to a light sunburn, but this typically resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Results develop gradually as your skin heals and regenerates. Many patients notice a reduction in active breakouts within the first few weeks, with continued improvement in skin texture, tone, and scarring over the following months as collagen production increases. Optimal results are typically visible after completing your full treatment series.
