About Acne Treatments
Acne, also referred to as pimples or zits, affects millions of men, women, and adolescents. Our facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Petroff, Dr. Scott, and their team understand how difficult acne can be to remove and the amount of stress it can cause. At Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa, we offer advanced laser treatments using the Smoothbeam laser technology to help our Lake Oswego, OR patients eliminate their acne. The Smoothbeam is specially designed to target the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for the production of oil that can lead to acne. The intense heat and energy from the Smoothbeam can transform the structure of the oil-producing glands, ensuring they do not overproduce oil that eventually leads to blemishes on the surface of the skin. Patients can learn more about all of our laser treatments by contacting our office for a consultation.
Best Candidates
The best candidates for receiving the Smoothbeam laser acne treatment will have:
- Noticeable acne on the face or body
- Tried other methods without success
- A desire for a long-term result
- Overall good health and strong immune system
What to Expect
A typical treatment will take about 20 - 30 minutes with very little downtime. A consultation with one of our laser technicians will help determine the unique treatment schedule and intervals between treatments. Some mild discomfort may be produced during the treatment, but a numbing cream can be applied to reduce the pain. Patients of all ages who are struggling with acne can benefit from a series of treatments.
Acne Treatment Reviews
Appointment with Whitney - Whitney was friendly, well informed and very helpful in enabling me to understand micro needling. I have had very good experiences at Petroff Center. I am confident you provide the very best dermatology cosmetic services.
Whitney did a fantastic job helping to teach my teen how to take care of her skin. And I really appreciated her help to stress wearing sunscreen!
I highly recommend the Petroff Center. I scheduled a consult with Dr. Petroff in early 2023 to discuss the CO2 laser for what I felt was significant acne scarring from my teen years. Dr. Petroff recommended that I instead do a couple sessions of the Halo laser, which would be performed by a medical esthetician. (The Halo does not require general anesthesia and therefore is much less expensive. This made me feel extra confident that the Center had my best interests in mind.) I had my first Halo session in March 2023 and second in January 2024, both with Brittany Mckinster. Brittany answered all of my questions thoroughly, talked me through the procedure, and made sure I was as comfortable as possible. I was 100% confident in her expertise from the start. I was thrilled with the results from my first Halo session, and honestly could have been satisfied stopping there, but now I’m addicted! The scars were softened to the extent that I rarely worried about them after I had healed from the procedure (~3 weeks for me). I also noticed overall improvement in pore size and texture. I am excited to see how my second session heals. Thank you, Petroff Center!
Dr. Scott saw me last minute to finish a dermatology procedure. He is amazing. Excellently trained and brings all the other goodies to the table. The staff is professional and personable. My “new” plastics/med spa folks!

Anticipated Results
3 - 4 sessions are usually required to create optimal results when treating active acne. Patients can expect to see gradually improved skin with less visible acne after each session. Results can last as long as 18 months in certain patients, and then follow-up treatments can be scheduled to maintain the desired outcome.
